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

A 66-year-old man diagnosed with immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) with diffuse intrahepatic bile duct stenosis and elevated serum IgG4 levels was referred for a further examination because of elevated serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels despite treatment with corticosteroids. An umbilical nodule was found on a physical examination and a biopsy showed adenocarcinoma. Although several imaging studies revealed no changes from prior studies, bile cytology collected by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed adenocarcinoma. Consequently, the patient was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma resembling IgG4-SC after detecting an umbilical metastasis, also known as Sister Mary Joseph's nodule.
