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

Aim of doing this review was to give a uniform consensus on prognostic impact of tumor location (hepatic vs peritoneal), liver resection and adjuvant chemotherapy in gall bladder cancer and, to compare them with previous well-studied factors of survival. We systematically review PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane for relevant articles with no date restrictions, language was restricted to English. Those articles were included that had provided Hazard ratio (HR) of survival for T2 gall bladder cancer. We identified nine retrospective studies published between 2014 and 2020 with 2345 patients. Meta-analysis showed that T2b (hepatic) cancers had higher odds of mortality (HR 3.16 [2.11, 4.74], I
