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

Caroli's disease is a rare congenital bile duct malformation characterized by intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. This kind of situation is seldom encountered in clinical work. We report such a case who presented to our emergency department with recurrent fever as initial symptom. According to the clinical manifestation and imaging examination, a 13-year-old boy was diagnosed with suppurative cholangitis and sepsis caused by Caroli's disease. The symptoms were got relieved after antibiotic therapy upgraded from cephalosporins to carbapenems. After 5 months of follow-up, he did not have fever, abdominal pain or any other discomfort. We believe the present report is of medical significance since it serves as a reminder that Caroli's disease may have atypical presentations and be masked by non-specific clinical findings. The report hopes to enlighten our pediatric colleagues by providing more knowledge on such rare congenital disease.
