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

Eosinophilic cholangiopathy is an uncommon etiology of biliary stenosis, which is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration. Clinically, it is difficult to distinguish eosinophilic cholangiopathy from other causes of obstructive cholangiopathy before pathologic confirmation. We report a case of eosinophilic cholangiopathy. A 30-year-old male patient complained of right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed distended gallbladder and multifocal bile duct strictures with diffuse wall thickening. His bilirubin level increased continuously even after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. He underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystitis and pathology of resected gallbladder revealed marked eosinophilic infiltration with no malignant component. His pain improved after cholecystectomy and multifocal bile duct strictures with wall thickening were rapidly improved after steroid therapy.
