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

Ectopic pancreatic tissue (EPT) is a rare condition in which pancreatic tissue is situated outside its normal position. It is commonly found in the stomach and small bowel, typically asymptomatic, and is usually discovered incidentally during histopathological analysis. Although fewer than 40 cases of ectopic pancreatic tissue in the gallbladder have been reported, its significance relies on the risk of malignant transformation, highlighting the need for a thorough pathological study. This case report describes the presence of EPT in the gallbladder incidentally found during the pathological examination following a laparoscopic cholecystectomy of a 37-year-old female due to chronic cholecystitis.
