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

backgroundMirizzi syndrome is a type of biliary obstruction caused by an impacted stone in the gallbladder neck or cystic duct that causes and extrinsic obstruction of the common bile duct, this condition if left untreated can lead to duct erosion, fistula, and cholangitis. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult since if not diagnosed correctly can elevate the risk of intraoperative bile duct injury. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 61-year-old patient, she presented to our hospital with obstructive jaundice, and a type III Mirizzi syndrome was identified. Preoperative diagnosis was completed, and she was successfully treated using a gallbladder free flap. On follow-ups, the patient is doing well.

conclusionMirizzi Syndrome is a rare syndrome that can lead to anatomical disturbances and surgical difficulties due to the hostile territory it creates. High clinical awareness, an emphasis on the preoperative diagnosis, and safe surgical techniques minimizing bile duct injury can improve patients outcome.
