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

Closed trauma-induced extrahepatic bile duct injuries have been occasionally reported. However, isolated intrahepatic bile duct injuries are extremely rare due to the deep location of the intrahepatic bile ducts and the protection provided by surrounding vital blood vessels and organs. We report a case of a 50-year-old female who sustained an incomplete rupture of the left hepatic bile duct following a car accident. The patient was urgently transferred to a nearby hospital for treatment after the incident. On the 15th day of hospitalization, she developed abdominal distension, nausea, indigestion, and white stool. Large volumes of dark green ascitic fluid were drained via ultrasound-guided abdominal paracentesis. The patient requested further specialized diagnosis and treatment and was subsequently transferred to our hospital. Ultimately, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC) revealed contrast agent extravasation from the left intrahepatic bile duct, confirming a traumatic bile duct injury. The patient underwent left hemihepatectomy on the 30th day post-injury and was discharged on the 12th postoperative day following a successful recovery.
