Risk factors and characteristics of young patients with the biliary tract carcinoma: results of a project study for biliary surgery by the Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery.
Article in Journal of hepato-biliary-pancreatic sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
purposeThis study aimed to elucidate the characteristics of biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) in young patients.
methodsThis is a nationwide multicenter, retrospective cohort study supervised by the Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery (JSHBPS). Clinicopathological data of patients aged <50 years diagnosed with BTC from January 1997 to December 2011 were collected from 211 training institutes for highly advanced surgery registered by the JHBPS.
resultsData of 774 young patients aged <50 years were obtained from 102 institutes. Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) (10.6%) was most frequently associated with young BTC. However, organic solvents caused by printing or other occupations were only 2.5%. PBM was further associated with early onset of BTC and was noted in 38.9% of patients aged <30 years. Subgroup analysis revealed that the distributions of PBM, choledochal cysts, cholelithiasis, hepatitis B virus, and past history of cancer were significantly varied depending on the site of BTC. These results suggested that each site of BTC has a different mechanism for cancer development.
conclusionAlthough the most frequent factor for young BTC patients was PBM, cancer-associated factors were dramatically different in each BTC site. These results might be useful to elucidate the etiology of young BTC patients.
