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

Accessory hepatic duct or gallbladder duplication is considered to be a risk factor for bile duct injuries and open conversion during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). A 32-year-old woman with epigastric pain was referred to our department. Gallstone disease in the gallbladder was diagnosed by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. The involvement of an accessory hepatic duct was suspected during endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. Drip infusion cholangiography with computed tomography showed that the cystic duct merged with the accessory right hepatic duct. Single-incision LC (SILC) was successfully performed without bile duct injury. The operative time and intraoperative blood loss were 145 min and 1 mL, respectively. The patient was discharged 3 days' postoperatively, without complications. The involvement of the accessory right hepatic duct is a rare anomaly and is considered to be a risk factor for bile duct injuries. However, obtaining pre-operative images enabled us to perform SILC successfully.
