Primary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of the hilar bile duct resulting in fluctuant jaundice: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
rationalePrimary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas rarely originate in the hilar bile duct. Preoperative diagnosis of a primary MALT lymphoma of the hilar bile duct is difficult owing to the rarity of this disease. Differentiating between obstructive jaundice caused by MALT lymphoma of the hilar bile duct and hilar cholangiocarcinoma (the most common form of bile duct cancer) is challenging. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 57-year-old man presented to our hospital in August 2012 with fluctuant obstructive jaundice. DIAGNOSES: Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed a hilar liver mass measuring 23 × 28 mm along with intrahepatic biliary dilatation indicating hilar bile duct obstruction with a high index of suspicion for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: Based on frozen section examination, he was intraoperatively diagnosed with chronic nonspecific inflammation. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed a diagnosis of malignant lymphoma, specifically classified as an extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of MALT type. LESSONS: A primary MALT lymphoma of the bile duct should be considered among the differential diagnosis in patients with a hilar tumor who present with fluctuating jaundice and are preoperatively diagnosed with suspected hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and/or an intraoperative diagnosis of chronic nonspecific inflammation (based on frozen section examination) assessed for stenosis or obstruction of the bile duct.
