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

backgroundIntrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumor with a very short 5-year survival. Multistep carcinogenesis has been suggested as the main pathway for the development of this tumor. Main suggested precursors have been (1) biliary intraepithelial neoplasia (BilIN) and (2) intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile duct (IPNB). The former is flat and does not produce grossly and radiologically detectable mass lesion, but the latter produces grossly identifiable lesion.

objectivesThe development of bile duct dysplasia (BilIN) in chronic biliary diseases has been investigated and proved, but the incidence of BilIN in non-biliary causes of cirrhosis such as hepatitis B and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis has very rarely been investigated. In this study, we have tried to find out the prevalence of BilIN in non-biliary cirrhosis. PATIENTS AND

methodsDuring the study period (2017-2018) in 100 explanted livers with the diagnosis of non-biliary cirrhosis, thorough sampling (at least 20 sections) was performed, and pathologic sections were studied for the presence of BilIN.

resultsIn the 100 studied livers with different diagnoses of non-biliary causes of cirrhosis, 31% of cases showed BilIN-1 and 2% of cases showed BiliIN-2. No case of BilIN-3 has been identified. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionsNon-biliary causes of cirrhosis should be considered as precursors of cholangiocarcinoma (BilIN); however, the incidence of this occurrence is low.
