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

introductionPrimary sarcomas of the gallbladder (GB) are a rare disease that were first described by Griffon and Segall in 1897. Leiomyosarcomas (LMS), as described in the case report at hand, are considered a major subgroup. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 62-year-old female was referred to our hospital with intermittent right upper quadrant pain. A 45 mm mass arising from the neck of the GB was diagnosed by ultrasound. No distant metastases were revealed. We successfully removed the GB and the surrounding liver tissue. We also performed a lymphadenectomy of the hepatoduodenal ligament. The histopathological and immunohistochemical examination revealed an R0 resected epithelioid LMS of the GB. DISCUSSION: Our review of literature shows only 20 publications of LMS of the GB. The majority of the patients are female with an average age of 65.95 years. In a non-metastasized stage, a cholecystectomy with a wedge resection of the surrounding liver tissue, accompanied by a lymphadenectomy of the hepatoduodenal ligament, is described as a successful surgical approach.

conclusionThe LMS should be taken under consideration when diagnosing a tumor of the GB.
