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

Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder with classic symptoms of right upper quadrant abdominal pain and fever. The most common precipitating factor is cholelithiasis; however, it sometimes appears in conjunction with other hepatobiliary-pancreatic pathology. Management is generally done with antibiotics and supportive care with or without cholecystectomy. The surgical management in practice is often limited by surgery time and patient suitability considering their likely overall outcome. We have outlined two cases with different etiologies presenting as cholecystitis. The aim was to further understand the benefits of multidisciplinary team meetings to optimize patient care and emphasize the roles of endoscopic ultrasonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in hepatobiliary pathology.
