Incidental Discovery of a Phrygian Cap During Whipple's Procedure: 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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Obstructive jaundice, characterised by yellow discolouration of the skin and mucous membranes due to reduced bile flow, often necessitates surgical intervention for resolution. This article provides a comprehensive literature review to contextualise the management of obstructive jaundice, focusing on common treatment modalities such as common bile duct (CBD) stenting and Whipple's procedure for pancreatic head cancer. Additionally, the incidental finding of a Phrygian cap of the gallbladder during surgical intervention for pancreatic head cancer is described in detail. A case presentation of a 48-year-old female with obstructive jaundice and pancreatic head cancer is outlined, detailing the diagnostic process, treatment decisions, and surgical interventions. The patient underwent CBD stenting followed by Whipple's procedure to address the pancreatic head cancer, during which the incidental discovery of a Phrygian cap of the gallbladder was noted. The discussion of the incidental finding highlights the complexity it adds to surgical interventions and emphasises the importance of adaptability and precision in managing anatomical variations. A comparison with similar cases underscores varying approaches to managing incidental findings, ranging from conservative observation to surgical excision based on clinical indications. This case underscores the significance of thorough diagnostic evaluation and surgical intervention in managing incidental findings such as the Phrygian cap, ensuring appropriate patient management and favourable clinical outcomes in complex surgical scenarios.
