Adenosquamous carcinoma of the gallbladder: a rare entity and dilemmas in its management.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 carcinomas are the most common form of biliary tract malignancies with adenocarcinomas, by far the most common variant while adenosquamous (adenosquamous carcinoma of the gallbladder) or pure squamous cell carcinomas representing only 2%-10% of all gallbladder carcinomas. Despite being a minority, these tumours demonstrate aggressive behaviour resulting in delayed presentations with widespread local invasion. We report a case involving a woman in her 50s who was diagnosed on imaging with a suspected gallbladder malignancy in the community. She proceeded to have a laparoscopic extended cholecystectomy with a cuff of segment 4b and 5 liver resection and cystic node sampling revealing a T3N1 lesion which on further recommendation by the multidisciplinary team proceeded to have an open portal lymphadenectomy yielding another positive lymph node. This case report highlights the dilemmas encountered in the management of this rare histological subtype in the absence of well-defined treatment algorithm and evolving guidelines.
