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

Mirizzi syndrome (MS), a rare complication of gallstones, refers to extrahepatic biliary compression by calculus in the cystic duct or Hartman's pouch and is usually associated with cystic duct abnormalities. Its association with pancreatic divisum (PD) is infrequent, the most common complication of PD being recurrent pancreatitis. We report a 39-year-old female patient who presented to a department of general surgery in Chennai, India, in 2022 with acute abdominal pain. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography (MRCP) showed calculous cholecystitis with a calculus indenting the cystic duct, causing luminal narrowing of the common hepatic duct (type I), which was associated with type II PD. The association of MS with PD has been rarely described. PD may be one of the factors responsible for bile stasis leading to calculous cholecystitis and its complications. Knowledge of MS and its associations helps in early diagnosis and selection of appropriate treatment management.
