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 74-year-old man presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Investigation revealed a locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) arose from left liver invading duodenum and diaphragm. Left trisectionectomy combined with wedge duodenal resection, left diaphragmatic and pericardial resection was performed. The diaphragmatic/pericardial defect was closed with Gore-Tex mesh. The patient developed post-operative intra-abdominal collection which resolved with percutaneous drainage. Pathology confirmed a 7 cm ICC, there was evidence of rupture with abscess formation, and adhesion but no direct invasion to duodenum and diaphragm. The resection margin was clear. The patient remained well for over 2 years after surgery when he was noted to have a new 2.3 cm left lower lobe lung lesion. Biopsy of lesion showed mucinous adenocarcinoma, which could be lung primary or metastatic ICC. The lung tumor was successfully treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy. He remained well afterwards and survived for ˃5 years without further recurrence since initial operation.
