Computed tomography findings of ceftriaxone-associated biliary pseudocholelithiasis in adults.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeThis study aimed to characterize the computed tomography (CT) findings of pseudolithiasis and investigate the outcomes and natural history in adult patients receiving CTRX therapy.
methodsA total of 17 patients were diagnosed with CTRX-associated biliary pseudolithiasis on CT between April 2013 and March 2017. The medical records, characteristics, complications, treatment options, and outcomes of these patients were examined. Serial CT images and the form, density, and location of pseudolithiasis were reviewed by two radiologists.
resultsOf the 17 patients with CTRX-associated pseudolithiasis, seven were men and ten were women. The median patient age was 78 years (range 31-88 years). The median interval from CTRX administration to the diagnosis of pseudolithiasis was 10 days (range 4-32 days). The CT findings of pseudolithiasis included a sludge pattern (11 patients [64.7%]), stone pattern (two patients [11.8%]), and stone plus sludge pattern (four patients [23.5%]). Seven patients (41.2%) showed gall bladder enlargement along with a common bile duct (CBD) stone. Two patients with CBD stones underwent endoscopic CBD stone removal. The median time to pseudolithiasis resolution after CTRX cessation was 69 days.
conclusionThe high-density sludge pattern is the most common typical CT finding of CTRX-associated pseudolithiasis in adults.
