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

A 15-year-old boy was referred to our hospital with elevated hepatobiliary enzyme levels and jaundice. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography performed at the previous medical facility revealed a stricture of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct. Computed tomography showed dilatation and wall thickness of the intrahepatic bile ducts. Primary sclerosing cholangitis or cholangiocarcinoma was suspected. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) showed stricture in the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct. On admission, the eosinophil count in the peripheral blood was normal; however, rapid hypereosinophilia in the peripheral blood was observed after admission, leading us to suspect eosinophilic cholangitis (EC). A bile duct biopsy showed inflammatory cells and eosinophil infiltration during a second ERCP. The patient was diagnosed with EC based on histopathology.
