Choledochal cysts type VI: biliary cyst of the cystic duct with connecting to right anterior sectoral bile duct: a case report.

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
Type VI choledochal cysts or cystic duct dilatation cysts are a relatively new and rare condition. We report the case of a 35-year-old man who presented with a history of recurrent episodes of epigastrium pain. Magnetic resonance cholangiography revealed a cyst lodged between the cystic duct and the right anterior sectoral bile duct. He underwent a laparoscopic right anterior sectorectomy with cholecystectomy. Pathological examination revealed a cyst with a fibrous wall, dense chronic inflammatory infiltration, lined by columnar epithelium. Due to its rarity, the diagnosis is often made intraoperatively. The treatment of cystic duct cysts includes cholecystectomy, complete cyst excision, recontinuity of the common bile duct. Type VI choledochal cysts are extremely rare. Preoperative diagnosis, using either magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, is vital to prevent postoperative complications. Treatment of this type of cysts includes cholecystectomy and complete cyst excision and biliary-enteric reconstruction if necessary.
