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

Gallbladder agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly of the biliary tract, due to failure of the gallbladder and cystic duct budding off of the common bile duct during fetal development. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant tumor arising from the biliary ducts in patients with underlying chronic biliary tract inflammation, primary sclerosing cholangitis, or other diseases. Although few studies have reported cases of cholelithiasis in patients with congenital gallbladder agenesis, there is only one other known case of concomitant cholangiocarcinoma and congenital gallbladder agenesis. Herein we present a case of recurrent gallstones in a male, diagnosed with gallbladder agenesis intraoperatively and with pathology consistent with cholangiocarcinoma.
