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 hydrops, otherwise known as gallbladder mucocele, is an uncommon gallbladder condition characterised by gallbladder distention and accumulation of clear mucous-like inspissated bile. Patients with gallbladder hydrops are usually asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed on cross-sectional imaging or diagnostic laparoscopy. This case report presents a rare case of calculous gallbladder hydrops measuring 217mm in maximal length in a 56-year-old female presenting with atypical abdominal and urinary symptoms. The radiological and intraoperative images will also be presented to highlight the extensiveness of the disease and therefore the importance of considering gallbladder hydrops as a differential in these patients.
