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

introductionHemobilia represents only 6% of all causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a rare case of a bleeding pseudoaneurysm of the cystic artery, due to a re-activation of a chronic cholecystitis, which arose with a mixed symptomatology: jaundices and hematemesis. DISCUSSION: The rarity of our patient is increased for some vascular anatomic variations detected by Computed Tomography that influenced the management of the disease. Our patient was treated by endovascular embolization of the pseudoaneurysm and subsequent cholecystectomy.

conclusionAbout pseudoaneurysm of the cystic artery only few cases have been already reported and to date there are no guidelines for its management. We describe both diagnostic features and therapeutic strategies in comparison to the most recent literature.
