Difficult to Treat Recurrent Pyogenic Cholangitis With Portal Pylephlebitis in the Setting of Idiopathic CD4+ Lymphocytopaenia.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Recurrent pyogenic cholangitis (RPC) is a disease characterized by multiple strictures of the biliary tree, impaired biliary drainage, formation of intrahepatic biliary pigment stones and recurrent bouts of cholangitis. We report the case of a 39-year-old businessman with diagnosed chronic calcific pancreatitis, who presented to us with recurrent episodes of cholangitis, leading to portal pyaemia, and progressive liver failure, which could not be controlled despite adequate biliary drainage. The patient rapidly developed progressive liver failure and sepsis-related coagulation failure. He was also found to have idiopathic CD4+ T cell lymphocytopenia (ICL), which resulted in refractory sepsis and formation of metastatic abscesses in the lung and spleen. ICL is now recognised in patients with recurrent and difficult to treat opportunistic infections. The combination of RPC, sepsis and liver failure in the setting of an acquired immunosuppressed state makes this a unique management scenario.
