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

introductionBiliary dyskinesia is defined by a gallbladder ejection fraction (EF) of less than 35% on HIDA scan, and these patients have shown a good response to cholecystectomy. Management of patients with biliary colic symptoms who have a hyperkinetic gallbladder (EF > 80%) is not clearly defined. Herein, I report three cases of the symptomatic hyperkinetic gallbladder that were successfully managed with cholecystectomy.

conclusionThe hyperkinetic gallbladder is a rare phenomenon, which can cause debilitating right upper quadrant pain. All three patients had an excellent response to cholecystectomy. Therefore, it is concluded that the patients with biliary colic and gallbladder EF of 80% or higher should be strongly considered for surgery.
