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

backgroundCancer of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary tracts is characterized by a low incidence and a very heterogeneous appearance.

objectiveSummary and evaluation of current surgical strategies in the treatment of malignant biliary tract diseases. MATERIAL AND

methodsAn analysis of English language publications as well as European and American guidelines and recommendations for the surgical treatment of malignant diseases of the biliary tract was carried out. The results and recommendations were summarized and evaluated on the basis of experiences in this center.

resultsSurgery is considered to be the only curative treatment option; however, prospective randomized studies and existing guidelines are based on limited evidence. Surgical strategies and the extent of resection differ between carcinomas of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts depending on localization, size and number of lesions as well as their proximity to surrounding structures.

conclusionSufficient experience in the treatment of these rare tumors is of special importance for the implementation of individualized overall concepts and for the sufficient performance of the mostly complex resections.
