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

Introduction: Persistent bile leakage is a known complication following surgery to control bleeding from severe liver injuries. Case presentation: A 51-year-old Japanese man presented to our hospital in shock following a collision between his motorcycle and a car. He underwent immediate surgery, in which a liver laceration was repaired with pledgeted sutures. Persistent bile leakage from the sutured hepatic site could be controlled post-operatively with stents, but the sutured hepatic site was found to be infected. A partial liver resection was eventually performed to successfully manage the infection. Conclusion: Clinicians should consider surgical intervention for cases of persistent infection after failed conservative treatment for severe liver injury.
