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

The biliary tract's most frequent malignancy is gallbladder cancer (GBC). Due to the growing number of laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures, the majority of GBC cases in the United States are diagnosed as incidental findings. Roughly 5% of the reported cases of gallbladder adenocarcinomas are of the mucinous type. Mucinous adenocarcinoma tumors contain more than 50% of mucin materials and are clinically characterized by poor prognosis. Initial presentation can mimic acute cholecystitis or cholelithiasis; meanwhile, histological findings post-cholecystectomy are the main diagnostic criteria of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder. This case presents a patient who has been diagnosed with cholelithiasis and cholecystitis and subsequently underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Histopathological examination of the gallbladder specimen was consistent with incidental gallbladder adenocarcinoma, the mucinous subtype to be specific.
