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

backgroundThe liver is the digestive organ where metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown primary site is most often observed. CASE REPORT: A 74-year-old man was diagnosed with a growing gallbladder tumor and multiple liver tumors limited to the left lateral sector. Liver tumors were suggested to be primary or secondary adenocarcinoma with no relation to the gallbladder tumor. Also for diagnostic purposes, laparoscopic full-thickness resection of the gallbladder, laparoscopic lateral sectionectomy and lymph node sampling were performed. The final histopathological diagnosis was hyperplastic polyp of the gallbladder and metastatic poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the liver. Liver tumors were suspected to originate from the stomach, duodenum, or small intestine; however, the primary sites could not be identified. The patient has been closely followed up without any chemotherapy 3 months after surgery.

conclusionLaparoscopic surgery can be strongly recommended for patients with multiple liver tumors of unknown origin concomitant with a gallbladder tumor.
