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 46-year-old woman with upper quadrant pain and nausea, diagnosed with cholelithiasis, underwent cholecystectomy. A 0.7 cm polypoid lesion in the gallbladder showed mostly heterotopic gastric mucosa with antral and oxyntic glands and foveolar epithelium. A focal area of the heterotopic pancreas, comprising acini and ducts with positive trypsin staining but no islet cells, was found. Additional findings included minimal inflammation, an adenomyoma on the opposite wall, and black gallstones, leading to a diagnosis of a heterotopic polyp. This case underscores the importance of thorough histopathological examination in diagnosing rare heterotopic tissues in the gallbladder, preventing misdiagnosis with malignant entities.
