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

We report a case of torsion of the gallbladder displaced under the right subphrenic space in a patient with liver cirrhosis. An 82-year-old Japanese woman was admitted to our hospital for acute pain in the right upper quadrant. Clinical features suggested gallbladder torsion. She was under treatment for hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis at our hospital. Abdominal CT showed the swollen fundus and body of the gallbladder under the right subphrenic space. Emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. Intraoperative findings included a grossly necrotic gallbladder in the right subphrenic space with 360° clockwise torsion, together with liver cirrhosis and localized peritonitis. The clinical features and imaging findings in this rare case of misplaced gallbladder in right subphrenic space resembled those described in typical strangulated gallbladder. The displacement was probably related to right liver lobe atrophy associated with liver cirrhosis. Appropriate diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment are essential for a positive outcome.
