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

introduction and importanceExtrahepatic metastasis is an exceptional site for rectal adenocarcinoma. Its clinical and radiological presentations are similar to those of cholangiocarcinoma, and its management requires collaboration between surgeons, endoscopists, and oncologists. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a unique case of a 58-year-old woman previously treated two and a half years ago for middle rectal adenocarcinoma with liver metastasis. In the immediate postoperative period, following restoring digestive continuity, she presented cholestatic jaundice from malignant obstruction of the extrahepatic bile duct. A midline laparotomy revealed a tumor of the common bile duct invading the hepatic pedicle. Therefore, external bile drainage, biopsy and hepatic lymph node dissection were performed. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of extrahepatic bile duct metastasis from rectal adenocarcinoma. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Extrahepatic bile duct metastasis from rectal adenocarcinoma manifests as bile duct stenosis or intraluminal lesions, and only pathological examination with immunochemical staining confirms the diagnosis. Radical treatment is possible when general conditions allow it.

conclusionOur case is the twelfth to describe a solitary metastasis of the bile duct metastasis from colorectal adenocarcinoma. The rarity of published cases in the literature means that their development mechanism and management are not well-codified.
