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

Gallbladder perforation with spillage of gallstones is not uncommon during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Stone spillage can cause several complications. We report a case of recurrent discharging sinuses on the right back 4 years after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a 44-year-old female patients. She suffered for 9 years to undergo empirical treatment for suspected tuberculosis, including repeated attempts at sinus tract excision done at different hospitals. We did a computed tomography sinogram, which revealed the tract extending from the right flank into a cavity in the right subpleural space. We proceeded with the sinus tract excision which extended between the tips of the 10th and 11th ribs, spreading to the right subpleural space where pus mixed with multiple gall stones were retrieved. Spilled stones may result in complications, making diagnosis difficult and seriously harming the patient physically, mentally, and economically. The need for accurate documentation and patient knowledge of missing gallstones cannot be understated.
