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

Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is a rare complication of cholelithiasis, resulting from the extrinsic compression of the common hepatic duct or common bile duct by impacted gallstones in the cystic duct or Hartmann's pouch. MS is most commonly observed in the elderly with a long-standing history of gallstones. We present the case of MS type I diagnosed following magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Surgical management was performed with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. MS should be considered as a differential diagnosis in elderly patients presenting with asymptomatic obstructive jaundice. Imaging studies such as MRCP and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are essential for diagnosing. We present this case to highlight the importance of recognizing hydrops gallbladder caused by cystic duct fibrosis leading to MS.
