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

Spontaneous bile duct perforation is an unusual cause of acute abdomen. It is an extremely rare condition and rarely suspected or correctly diagnosed pre-operatively. A case of a 29 year old adult female, presenting with peritonitis, 2 days post partum is presented. Exploratory laparotomy showed biliary peritonitis secondary to a perforated common bile duct. She had a cholecystectomy and closure of the perforation over a T-tube. She recovered well and was discharged home. Awareness of spontaneous common bile duct perforation as a rare cause of biliary peritonitis, avoids undue delay in the diagnosis and thus improve prognosis. Cholecystectomy and drainage of bile duct using a T-tube is emphasized.
