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

Adenocarcinomas of the distal bile duct are traditionally classified as either pancreatobiliary or intestinal type, with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma included within the former classification. Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare and deadly malignancy that occurs within three clinically defined regions: intrahepatic, perihilar, and in the distal bile duct. We present a 68-year-old male with a past medical history of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia who presented to the emergency department with a 3-week history of diarrhea, diffuse abdominal pain, malaise, and nausea. Contrast enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a periampullary mass. Endoscopic ultrasound biopsy was performed, with histopathology suggestive of distal cholangiocarcinoma. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was utilized for palliative stent placement until patient received pancreaticoduodenectomy (ie, Whipple procedure). In this case, we highlight the imaging presentation and histopathology of a distal cholangiocarcinoma.
