Type VI Choledochal Cysts-Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Surgery journal (New York, N.Y.), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Choledochal cysts (CDC), are rare congenital dilations involving the extra hepatic biliary apparatus with or without dilation of the intrahepatic bile ducts. They are conventionally classified into five types. A new type, type VI, causing dilation of the cystic duct between the neck of the gall bladder and the common hepatic duct (CHD) has been described in medical literature which is the rarest of all these subtypes. They are commonly observed in middle aged females and are mostly symptomatic. Most of these cysts need magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for accurate diagnosis. Treatment options for these lesions are not well defined but range from simple cholecystectomy to complete excision of the entire bile duct and biliary reconstruction, as there is a concern of malignant transformation in these cysts. Hence, these rare cysts, though rare, must be borne in mind when dealing with suspicious cystic lesions in the biliary tract. Here, we present an interesting case of such a rare cyst and its management in a middle aged woman.
