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

Although the cystic duct has diverse variations, a double cystic duct is rarely found. Only 20 cases had been reported until late 2017. In the present study, we describe a 58-year-old woman with a double cystic duct who initially presented with a passed stone and pancreatitis concomitant with a gallbladder containing microlithiasis. The double cystic duct was not detected in preoperative endoscopic ultrasonography; and the anomaly was an incidental finding during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patient had no postoperative complications and was discharged uneventfully. Postoperative magnetic resonance cholangiography showed a normal biliary tree structure.
