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

introductionThe evolution of hepatic hydatid cyst can be enameled with complications, mainly biliary fistula, which can be both symptomatic or occult. The aim of this study is to identify the predictive factors of occult cysto-biliary communication. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis is a retrospective study of patients operated-on for uncomplicated hepatic hydatid cyst in Farhat Hached Hospital of Sousse over a period of 10 years.

resultsTwo hundred twenty patients were operated-on for uncomplicated hydatid cyst. In univariate analysis, alkaline-phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl-transferase, alanine-transferase elevated levels and multiple type were factors associated with occult fistula, but gamma-glutamyl-transferase level was the only predictor in multivariate analysis.

conclusionThese predictive factors could contribute to determine preoperative probability of occult fistula, thus indicating additional intraoperative procedures to ensure its identification.
