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

Life-threatening hemobilia is a rare cause of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Giant choledochal cyst is also a rarely reported diagnosis. Similarly, arteriocholedochal fistulas are also rarely reported and usually occur after invasive procedures for diagnosis or treatment of hepatopancreatobiliary-related disorders. In this report, the authors describe a case of a spontaneous arteriocholedochal fistula that occurred in a giant choledochal cyst and led to life-threatening hemobilia. The patient ultimately required a Whipple's pancreatoduodenectomy for treatment, which is again rarely undertaken as an emergency procedure. We describe the management this patient underwent and discuss the reasons why we resorted to undertake such a formidable procedure for the patient as his treatment option.
