1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A 61-year-old female underwent right hemihepatectomy and caudate lobectomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma in 1999. Ten years later, increasing serum carbohydrate 19-9 was detected by routine follow-up. Subsequent positron emission tomography revealed an asymptomatic lesion in the right 11th rib. As the mass steadily grew in size, the lesion was resected en bloc with the affected rib and muscle. The histopathological findings closely resembled those of the primary cholangiocarcinoma. Thus, the tumor was diagnosed as a metastatic recurrence 10 years after resection of the primary tumor. There have been a few reports of cholangiocarcinoma recurrence in long-term survivors at the surgical margins, peritoneum, or transhepatic drainage route. However, there are no reports of solitary extra-abdominal recurrence. This case highlights the need for careful follow-up of patients with cholangiocarcinoma and nodal metastasis, even in the absence of recurrence for >5 years after curative resection.
