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

backgroundAdenomatous hyperplasia (AH) is an uncommon benign lesion of the gallbladder (GB), predominantly seen in men. AH is commonly confused with malignant GB neoplasms in the setting of chronic cholecystitis and gallstones. There is a scarcity of published literature on AH, suggesting its rarity and the need for this case report. CASE PRESENTATION: A 24-year-old woman from Western Uganda presented with signs and symptoms consistent with extrahepatic biliary obstruction. Trans-abdominal ultrasound scan revealed cholecystomegaly (13.9 cm by 4.29 cm), thickened GB wall at 5.2 mm, with a poorly defined hypoechoic polypoid solid mass involving the fundal body of the GB. Explorative laparotomy with cholecystectomy and lymph node sampling was performed. Histopathological examination was consistent with adenomatous hyperplasia of the GB. The symptoms and laboratory values improved on follow-up in the clinic after laparotomy.

conclusionAdenomatous hyperplasia may be misdiagnosed as a malignant GB neoplasm, especially in the setting of chronic cholecystitis and gallstones. If a correct histopathological diagnosis is made, no further diagnostic work-up is necessary following surgical interventions.
