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

Early stage cancer of the bile duct system is still difficult to diagnose. In cases of suspect lesions a stepwise diagnostic procedure consisting of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with MR cholangiography (MRC) and possibly endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with brush cytology should immediately be carried out. If there is a sufficient suspicion for premalignancy or early stage cancer the indications for surgical intervention should clearly be defined. Only resection can lead to a decrease in the recurrence rate and a better long-term outcome. If the patient is in a functionally nonresectable condition the possibility of liver transplantation should be considered.
