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

introductionPatients with type 1 Gaucher disease have been reported to be more likely to have cholelithiasis. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A case of cholelithiasis in a patient with type 1 Gaucher disease; which is very intriguing to show this comorbidity. The case was the only known case with this pathology in time of diagnosis in our country (Kosovo). The patient is a 21-year old girl a known case of type 1 Gaucher disease, at the age of 8 years. The patient underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Chronic inflammatory changes and adhesions were obvious during surgery. DISCUSSION: Type 1 Gaucher disease patients have several risk factors for gallstone formation: increased biliary excretion of glucosylceramide, advanced liver disease and cirrhosis, splenomegaly, inborn error of metabolism, chronic systemic inflammation, T cell dysfunction, and insulin resistance" to risk factors.

conclusionGallstones and cholecystitis should be considered when abdominal symptoms and liver dysfunctions are seen in these patients. More studies are needed in especially Kosovo.
