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

Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignancy that is hard to detect and resect, due mostly to its location as well as a lack of current screening tests. When found, it is often in the advanced stage as patients are usually asymptomatic during the early course of the disease; the overall prognosis is modest in patients diagnosed at this stage. Here, we discuss the case of a 48-year-old female with no significant past medical history or family history who presented to our hospital with symptoms of acute cholecystitis with a supporting ultrasound. She proceeded to get a laparoscopic cholecystectomy for the same, but an ensuing workup and pathology revealed advanced-stage cholangiocarcinoma. The patient ultimately opted for palliative care given her poor prognosis.
