Small Cell Carcinoma of Gallbladder With Nodal Metastasis Mimicking As Synchronous Malignancy in Gallbladder and Common Bile Duct.

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.
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
Small cell carcinoma of the gallbladder is an extremely rare disease. Even with current aggressive and diverse treatments, small cell carcinoma of the gallbladder has an extremely poor prognosis. The presence of synchronous malignancies in the gallbladder and the biliary tract is even rare. Synchronous malignancy can be due to either local spread or metastasis. It can also occur due to field change in the extrahepatic malignancy or can arise de novo as multifocal malignancy. Small cell carcinoma of gallbladder with nodal metastasis mimicking as synchronous malignancy in the gallbladder and distal common bile duct is rare. We report a 74-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and jaundice. Initial imaging studies were suggestive of the possibility of synchronous malignancy in the gallbladder and common bile duct. However, further imaging studies showed that carcinoma of the gallbladder had metastasis to the lymph nodes, causing external compression to the common bile duct rather than synchronous malignancy. Cytology was diagnostic of small cell carcinoma of the gallbladder. The patient had metastasis to other sites also. The patient underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with stenting and started on palliative platinum-based chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine, and he is under regular follow-up.
