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

backgroundWhether the extra-hepatic bile duct (EHBD) should be routinely resected for gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) remains controversial. The current study aimed to determine the clinical impact of combined EHBD resection during curative surgery for advanced GBC.

methodsIn total, 213 patients who underwent curative surgery for T2, T3 or T4 GBC were enrolled. The clinicopathological features were compared between the patients treated with EHBD resection and those without EHBD resection. Meanwhile, univariable and multivariable Cox-proportional hazards regression models were used to identify risk factors for overall survival (OS).

resultsAmong the 213 patients identified, 87 (40.8%) underwent combined EHBD resection. Compared with patients without EHBD resection, patients with EHBD resection suffered more post-operative complications (33.3% vs. 21.4%,
