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

Choledochal cyst is a rare malformation of the bile ducts with high risk of malignancy. For type I cysts surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Biliary cysts are considered congenital and mostly diagnosed in children; however, the prevalence and management in adult population is poorly defined. A 77-year-old patient who presented with severe right upper quadrant pain was diagnosed with type IA choledochal cyst. Due to pancreatic head involvement in the lesion, pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. This case emphasizes a great research gap in the understanding of choledochal malformations, especially in adults.
