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 woman in her 70s presented with painless jaundice and index biopsy of a common bile duct (CBD) mass obtained by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was suspicious for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour. Treatment consisted of pancreaticoduodenectomy, and final pathology results were consistent with sarcomatoid carcinoma. Postoperative complications included pancreaticojejunal leak, surgical wound infection, bacteraemia, myocardial injury, and significant ulceration and stricturing of the oesophagus. 14 weeks post-pancreaticoduodenectomy, the patient was found to have a perforated viscus, gastroduodenal leak and diffuse small bowel ischaemia-the patient passed away following emergent laparotomy. We aim to add to the limited literature surrounding this rare CBD neoplasm.
