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

rationaleMultiple primary carcinoma (MPM) refers to simultaneous or successive occurrence of ≥2 types of primary malignant tumors in a single organ or in different organs of the same individual. It is rarely seen in clinical practice. Among the various types of MPM, hilar cholangiocarcinoma combined with gastric cancer is extremely rare. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient was a 61-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital due to upper abdominal discomfort and yellow-stained skin mucosa for 9 days. DIAGNOSES: Preoperative diagnosis: Considering the typical preoperative painless jaundice as well as his clinical imaging report, the patient received the following preoperative diagnosis: obstructive jaundice, type IV hilar cholangiocarcinoma based on Bismuth-Corlette classification, and no intrahepatic distant metastasis. Intraoperative diagnosis: The results of intraoperative snap freezing and laboratory examination indicated gastric adenocarcinoma. Therefore, the patient received an intraoperative diagnosis of obstructive jaundice, hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and gastric cancer. Postoperative pathological diagnosis: Postoperative pathological examination of the gastric lesion revealed the following results: ulcerative, moderately differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma and intestinal type in the Lauren classification of stomach cancer; moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the bile duct.

interventionsSurgical resection operation was carried out and the patient received chemotherapy after operation. But we could not strictly follow the relevant clinical guidelines to perform standardized operations and provide comprehensive treatment because of his economic situation, psychological factors, and the current medical environment in China. OUTCOMES: The patient did not receive standardized postoperative therapy. Although he lived and worked normally for 8 months after the operation, he died 10 months after surgery. LESSONS: This report reminds us to pay close attention to the likelihood of MPM and other low-incidence diseases. The physicians and imaging clinicians should explore all clinical possibilities to avoid misdiagnosis of this rare disease and formulate effective treatment plans to maximize the therapeutic benefits for the patient.
