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

Acute cholangitis is a biliary tract infection secondary to the obstruction, which causes biliary stasis and bacterial overgrowth. Typically, it presents with the Charcot triad of right upper quadrant abdominal pain, jaundice, and fever. Most acute cholangitis cases are secondary to choledocholithiasis. There are rare cases resulting from pancreatic neoplasm. We report the case of a 43-year-old Caucasian male who was found unresponsive at home with hypotension, anemia, and severe jaundice. Initial imaging studies were notable for a periampullary mass lesion causing intrahepatic biliary ductal dilation. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) revealed an actively oozing periampullary fungating mass. In this case, acute cholangitis and hemorrhagic shock secondary to bleeding periampullary lesions are atypical. This case presents an effective treatment plan for this condition.
