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

Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare disease that occurs anywhere along the bile duct. The disease predominantly occurs in Far East Asia and is very rarely diagnosed and documented in western countries. IPNB presents similarly to obstructive biliary pathology; however, patients can be asymptomatic. Surgical resection of IPNB lesions is crucial for patient survival because IPNB is precancerous and can transform into cholangiocarcinoma. Although potentially curative by excision with negative margins, patients who are diagnosed with IPNB need close monitoring for de novo recurrence of IPNB or other pancreatic-biliary neoplasms. In this case, we present an asymptomatic non-Hispanic Caucasian male who was diagnosed with IPNB.
