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

Herein, we report a case of primary small cell neuroendocrine tumor (NET) of the gallbladder in a 45-year-old female who presented with complaints of fever accompanied by abdominal pain on the right upper quadrant for one month. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen showed a large gallbladder mass. It was infiltrating the segments IVa, IVb, and V of the liver. Ultrasound-guided fine-needle-aspiration-cytology was performed. Based on preoperative pathological and immunohistochemical investigations, it was diagnosed to be a primary small cell NET of the gallbladder. The patient underwent radical cholecystectomy after three cycles of cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. She had an uneventful recovery and received adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy. The patient was well at the 18-month follow-up.
