Gallbladder carcinosarcoma masquerading as a hepatic abscess.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 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
Carcinosarcomas of the gallbladder are extremely rare tumors and infrequently reported in the literature. We demonstrate a case of a 64-year-old female who presented with a 2-month history of a right upper quadrant mass, intermittent fevers, and abdominal distension following recent travel to Ghana. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrated a large hepatic lesion with co-existing gallbladder distension, suggestive of a hepatic abscess. The patient was initially managed with intravenous antibiotics but failed to respond to treatment. A subsequent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the liver showed a locally invasive lobulated soft tissue lesion arising from the gallbladder fundus and extending into the liver parenchyma. The lesion was surgically excised with a central hepatectomy. Histopathologic analysis showed a carcinosarcoma of the gallbladder.
