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) occurs in cholelithiasis when gallstones obstruct the cystic duct or neck of the gallbladder, leading to compression of the common hepatic duct (CHD) and potentially causing ductal obstruction. This may result in the formation of a cholecystocholedochal fistula. Open cholecystectomy is the standard treatment. We present a case of MS in a heart transplant candidate, managed with stent placement and percutaneous cholecystostomy due to his high surgical risk. His course was complicated by stent migration. This case underscores how MS can be effectively managed with stent placement and percutaneous cholecystostomy.
