Malignant Portal Vein Thrombosis in Adenosquamous Carcinoma of the Gall Bladder.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
We report a rare case of adenosquamous carcinoma of the gall bladder (GB) causing portal vein tumor thrombus. A 40-year-old gentleman presented with acute-onset right upper abdominal pain. Ultrasonography revealed multiple calculi in the GB with wall thickening, suggesting acute cholecystitis. Intraoperatively, irregular wall thickening of GB with infiltration into the duodenum and stomach was found. Partial cholecystectomy was performed, and a histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed adenosquamous carcinoma. PET-CT revealed a fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid lesion in the GB and the main portal vein, suggesting a tumor thrombus. Two weeks later, he developed jaundice, and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) showed a heterogeneously enhancing mass in the GB fossa, encasing the main portal vein, with an enhancing filling defect within its lumen, suggestive of tumor thrombus. Multiple periportal and peripancreatic lymph nodes were seen, encasing the common bile duct and causing intrahepatic biliary radical dilation. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage was performed, and palliative chemotherapy was started.
