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

We report the case of an 82 year-old Japanese man with a history of multiple heart surgeries who presented with nausea and loss of appetite. Laboratory tests showed elevated liver and biliary enzymes. Imaging showed a possible space-occupying lesion within a dilated bile duct. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography showed an intact ampulla of Vater with a visible mucus-filled orifice presenting a fish-mouth appearance and fluoroscopy showed a possible tumor-causing mild stenosis of the bile duct. Cholangioscopy revealed papillary protrusions in the common bile duct. Pathological evaluation was inconclusive but negative for malignancy. Patient was presumptively diagnosed with intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct. Mucobilia caused repeated migration of metallic biliary stents, requiring numerous endoscopic interventions. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy was performed, as patient was no longer fit for surgery. All abdominal symptoms resolved and laboratory values normalized. Patient remained symptom-free during 12 months of follow-up.
