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 disease is a rare congenital disorder of segmental cystic dilatations of the intrahepatic biliary ducts that maintain communication with the rest of the biliary tree. Its typical clinical presentation is recurrent episodes of cholangitis. The diagnosis is usually made using abdominal imaging modalities. We present a patient with Caroli disease showing atypical presentation of acute cholangitis with ambiguous labs and initial negative imaging findings, which was later diagnosed by [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and tissue pathology. The use of such imaging modalities in moments of doubt or clinical suspicion provide the patient with accurate diagnosis, proper management, and better clinical outcome, thus obviating the need for further invasive investigations.
