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

Squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder is a profoundly rare tumor. It is one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of gallbladder cancer, often being diagnosed at a later stage. There are no definitive risk factors described for this specific type of gallbladder tumor when compared to other forms of gallbladder carcinoma. This case is regarding a 64-year-old female who was found to have primary squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder during an attempted cholecystectomy. Her tumor was found to have invaded her liver. The tumor displayed characteristic qualities of a pure squamous cell carcinoma and was positive for CK7 and p63 upon pathological analysis. Best results for treatment for this condition are achieved via R0 resection. Adjuvant therapy with chemoradiation has not been well-defined nor very effective in prior cases.
