[Radiologic diagnostics of the gall bladder and bile ducts-part 1 : Imaging techniques-normal variants and congenital disorders-cholelithiasis].
Article in Der Radiologe, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Upper abdominal pain, icterus and cholestasis are the main symptoms leading to evaluation of the biliary tract. Since the advent of contrast-enhanced ultrasound techniques the accuracy of bile duct imaging has significantly improved. This is also true for computed tomography using isotropic secondary reconstructions as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including MR cholangiography (MRC), classically and after iv injection of hepatobiliary contrast agent. Diffusion-weighted imaging sequences have a recently proven ability for improving biliary tract imaging. These technical improvements provide the depiction of the non-dilated biliary tract system in diagnostic quality. Therefore, normal variants and congenital disorders of biliary tract anatomy are delineated as well as insights into the postoperative situs and complications related to surgery. Cholelithiasis is the most frequent disease of the gall bladder and biliary tract. Together with related complications, in the majority of cases it is also the reason for bile duct inflammation. Due to the immediate need for treatment special care has to be taken for hydrops of the gall bladder.
