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

Biliary hamartomas are tumor-like malformations of the liver. Biliary hamartomas are a type of fibrocystic disorder originating from ductal plate malformation and are typically considered benign, but with the risk of malignant transformation. In this case report, we present a rare occurrence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) that developed from biliary hamartomas, along with a literature review. A 76-year-old man with a diagnosis of biliary hamartomas had a history of recurrent cholangitis for 12 years, necessitating cholecystectomy, ERCP, and repeated antibiotic treatments. During his last episode, imaging studies revealed a hypervascular infiltrative mass in the right posterior liver segment. A liver biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma and subsequent surgical pathology revealed ICC originating from biliary hamartomas. Chronic inflammation in the bile duct associated with biliary hamartomas may serve as a potential trigger for malignant transformation, as observed in this case. Therefore, close surveillance is essential for patients with biliary hamartomas presenting with infectious complications.
