Recurrent Pyogenic Cholangiohepatitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Recurrent pyogenic cholangitis (RPC), which is most commonly seen in Asian populations, is characterized by strictures and dilatation of both intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts, along with the formation of pigmented stones inside the ducts. The most common symptoms are recurrent right upper quadrant pain, jaundice, and fever. Additionally, leukocytosis and elevated alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin levels may also be present. We report the case of a 43-year-old Bangladeshi male patient with a medical background of chronic hepatitis B infection and recurrent liver abscesses who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain and fever lasting for two days. Given the clinical context of our patient, a diagnosis of RPC was made, and the patient was referred to a higher-level center for further management. Our case highlights the importance of considering RPC as part of the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with recurrent liver abscesses and features of ascending cholangitis.
