Isolated dilatation of the cystic duct-Type VI choledochal cyst: a rare case presentation and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
An isolated cystic dilatation of the cystic duct is extremely rare and very few cases have been reported in the world literature. The existing Todani's classification does not include this as a separate entity and thereby, it has been vaguely termed as a Type VI choledochal cyst by some authors in the past. We describe a case of a young male with a Type VI choledochal cyst suspected preoperatively on imaging studies and confirmed intraoperatively by laparoscopy. The cyst was localized to the cystic duct with no involvement of the common bile duct. It was excised
