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

Hypogenesis or agenesis of right hepatic lobe is a rare abnormality and is generally associated with gallbladder and biliary tract abnormalities. Cases of biliary injury following cholecystectomy have been reported in patients with agenesis of right hepatic lobe because the anatomical anomalies complicate the surgical approach. We report a case of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with hypogenesis of right hepatic lobe. A 92-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with fever and right lower abdominal pain with suspected acute appendicitis. Abdominal computed tomography revealed gallstones with acute cholecystitis and hypogenesis of right hepatic lobe. He underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the left semilateral decubitus position. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. In conclusions, some patients with liver lobe hypoplasia do not present with the typical symptoms of acute cholecystitis due to dislocation of the gallbladder. The left semilateral decubitus position with modified placement of port sites is useful for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with hypogenesis of right hepatic lobe.
