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

A giant common bile duct (CBD) calculus is a rare occurrence, and the presence of a giant calculus within a choledochal cyst (CDC) is even more unusual. In this case report, we detail an instance of a giant CBD calculus measuring 7 cm x 3 cm found within a CDC, accompanied by multiple tiny calculi. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) revealed the dilation of the bi-lobar intrahepatic biliary radical (IHBR) and the CBD. A large T2 hypointense and T1 hyperintense calculus occupied the dilated CBD and common hepatic duct (CHD), extending into the left hepatic duct (LHD) and right hepatic duct (RHD). There was a possibility of type 1c CDC with cystolithiasis, hepatolithiasis, and cholelithiasis. The patient underwent open cholecystectomy with choledochotomy, stone retrieval, excision of the CDC, and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.
