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

A young patient presenting with recurrent biliary colic had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The routine histology on the gallbladder revealed a section of pancreatic tissue in the neck of the gallbladder. Pancreatic tissue separate from the pancreas is known as pancreatic heterotopia and is particularly rare. However, there has been a recent increase in the publications of cases. In this report we present the case history of our patient and discuss it with relevance to the wider literature.
