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

There are many different types of gallbladder diseases, mainly resulting from inflammation. The long-term presence of an insult to the gallbladder leads to chronic inflammation, which is a nidus for complications such as Mirizzi syndrome and gallbladder cancer, both of which can become mimics of one another. Preoperative diagnosis of either gallbladder cancer or Mirizzi syndrome is often difficult, leading to late diagnosis and complicating the patient's treatment course. We report a case of a 65-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and significant weight loss, with no physical evidence of jaundice and normal liver function. This was initially diagnosed as acute cholecystitis and Mirizzi syndrome before being diagnosed as gallbladder adenocarcinoma on final histology.
