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

introductionCystic duct carcinoma is a rare disease, and only 33 cases reported worldwide have completely fulfilled the criteria first established by Farrar in 1951. Here we describe an extremely rare case of early cystic duct carcinoma that fulfilled the Farrar criteria, the papillary tumour protruding into the common bile duct, leading to obstructive jaundice. CASE PRESENTATION: A 76-year-old man visited a clinic with icteric conjunctivae, and was referred to our hospital for investigation of suspected obstructive jaundice. He was initially diagnosed as having a distal bile duct carcinoma on the basis of ultrasonography (US), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC), and underwent pancreatoduodenectomy with regional lymphadenectomy. Macroscopic examination showed that the stalk of the papillary tumour originated from the cystic duct, and that the protruding lesion was 50 mm in size. Histopathological examination revealed the tumour to be a papillary adenocarcinoma confined within the fibromuscular layer, with no evidence of lymph node metastasis. Therefore, the final diagnosis was early cystic duct carcinoma.

conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first case report of obstructive jaundice due to early carcinoma of the cystic duct protruding into the bile duct, with characteristics fulfilling the Farrar criteria.
