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

backgroundAn ectopic bile duct opening into the stomach is a rare congenital anomaly of the biliary system, and thus, there are few case reports with gastric ulcer hemorrhage. Herein, we presented a case of ectopic bile duct concomitant with gastric ulcer hemorrhage. CASE PRESENTATION: A 75-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because she repeatedly vomited blood and had melena. Endoscopic hemostasis was attempted for hemorrhage from a gastric ulcer located on the anterior wall of the antrum. However, the bleeding was difficult to stop, and a laparoscopic distal gastrectomy was performed. Her postoperative course was uneventful. Pathological examination revealed that the bleeding point was an ectopic bile duct. In retrospect, an annual endoscopy performed at her family clinic had revealed a bulge in the same portion of the stomach. Exposure to bile acids from an ectopic bile duct opening can cause gastric mucosal damage and ulceration.

conclusionsEctopic bile ducts opening into the stomach can cause gastric ulcer and hemorrhage. Hemorrhage from a submucosal ridge with ulcer in the stomach may be rarely related to the presence of ectopic bile ducts.
