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

A 31-year-old woman was admitted to our department in order to undergo a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The operation was converted to open due to cholorrhea during the dissection in the hepatocystic triangle. The cholorrhea came from a transected bile duct, which was 2 mm in diameter, came out of the hepatoduodenal ligament, ran along the common hepatic duct and drained into the cystic duct, in proximity to the neck of the gallbladder. The gallbladder was removed and an intraoperative cholangiography revealed that the aberrant bile duct was originated from the right posterior sectoral duct (RPSD). The RPSD continued its typical course up to its confluence with the right anterior sectoral duct and the formation of the right hepatic duct. This is a rare type of aberrant bile duct, which is added to the long catalogue of the anatomical variations of the biliary tree.
