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 78-year-old man was diagnosed with advanced poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma, presenting with jaundice and diffuse thickening of the extrahepatic bile duct. No obstructive biliary sites or liver masses were observed. The serum concentrations of proteins induced by the absence of vitamin K or antagonist-II were markedly high. Samples of the extrahepatic bile duct and liver were obtained by endoscopic examination. The patient was diagnosed with lymphangiosis carcinomatosa of the liver and extrahepatic bile duct but died 28 days after hospitalization. As the disease progresses rapidly with uncharacteristic imaging findings, biopsy samples should be obtained early using several diagnostic tools.
