Diverticulum of common hepatic duct leading to obstructive jaundice, a case report.
Article in BJR case reports, 2019. 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
Choledochal cyst is a dilation of the intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic biliary tree. The pathogenesis is unknown and potentially is multifactorial. In 1977, Todani classified the cysts under five different types according to their morphology, number and distribution along the biliary tree. Presenting symptoms of Choledocal cysts which include upper abdominal pain, acute cholangitis and jaundice, although often they are clinically silent and discovered as an incidental finding. Biliary complications include cholangitis, biliary stones, pancreatitis, portal hypertension and cholangiocarcinoma. We describe a case of a rare Type II Todani cyst located on the right side of the common hepatic duct characterised by a clinical presentation similar to that observed in Mirizzi Syndrome. The treatment of a Type II choledochal cyst consists in cystic excision.
