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

Signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is rare in the biliary system. We report a case of SRCC coexisting with adenocarcinoma, arising in a choledochal cyst of the extrahepatic bile duct. The patient was a 52-year-old man, hospitalized for the investigation of jaundice and pruritus. Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed a huge choledochal cyst and distal common bile duct cancer. The patient underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy with extended lymph node dissection. Histologic examination confirmed an SRCC coexisting with adenocarcinoma arising in a choledochal cyst. Postoperative chemotherapy had to be discontinued after only two cycles because the patient suffered serious side effects. Recurrence was detected in the bilioenteric anastomosis 4 months after surgery, and he died 6 months after surgery. To our knowledge, this represents the first case of SRCC arising in a choledochal cyst of the extrahepatic bile duct ever to be reported.
