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

Cholelithiasis, or gallstone(s), is a leading cause of healthcare utilization in the United States. It is more common in adults but can occur in the pediatric population as well. The following is a case report of choledocholithiasis in a 19-month-old girl. A 19-month-old girl with abdominal pain presented to the emergency department (ED) after being found to have cholelithiasis on an outpatient abdominal ultrasound (US). Three days prior to presentation, the patient was seen by her pediatrician for fussiness, decreased oral intake, and non-bloody, non-bilious emesis. She was diagnosed with a suspected urinary tract infection (UTI) and prescribed amoxicillin-clavulanate for empiric treatment. The following day, the patient returned to her pediatrician for worsening abdominal pain; she was given one dose of intramuscular ceftriaxone and scheduled for outpatient abdominal US. Her past medical history is significant for omphalocele status post-surgical correction, several congenital cardiac defects, bilateral small kidneys, and poor weight gain. The patient has a normal chromosomal microarray and no family history of hepatobiliary/pancreatic disease. In the ED, the patient was afebrile and hemodynamically stable. Physical examination was significant for mild hepatomegaly, mild abdominal tenderness without peritoneal signs, and the presence of a well-healed surgical scar on the abdomen with an underlying abdominal hernia. Laboratory tests were significant for leukocytosis of 14.5×10
