Descriptive analysis of incidental and operable gallbladder carcinoma cases: a UK centre experience.
Article in Pathologica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To identify and compare significant or relevant prognostic factors in pre-operatively diagnosed, surgically resectable, gallbladder cancer and in incidentally detected gallbladder cancer cases. Material and methods: Gallbladder resections (October 2009-March 2016) were identified on the histopathology Winpath database. Cases with a final histological diagnosis of gallbladder cancer (GBC) were categorised into: Group A: clinically suspected operable GBC (n = 13). Group B: incidental GBC with staged liver bed resection (n = 5). Group C: incidental GBC without staged liver bed resection (n = 15). The clinicopathological features were analysed in each group separately. Results: The overall incidence of primary (GBC) was 0.66% and all the cases were adenocarcinomas, of which, 6 of 33 (18.2%) were grade 1 and 15 of 33 (45.4%) were grade 3. Male to female ratio is 1:2.3. Of the 33 patients with GBC 14 (42.4%) has died of disease at 18-month follow-up. 15 of 33 had perineural invasion and 10/21 (47.6%) cases showed lymph node matastasis. Six cases had positive surgical margin and 9/15 showed direct liver invasion. Higher stage disease (T3/T4) was seen in 10/14 cases. Conclusion: The prognosis of primary GBC is poor and best clinical outcomes can be achieved with early diagnosis followed by radical cholecystectomy and staged liver resection with negative margins.
