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

backgroundRecurrence of common bile duct (CBD) calculi within 30 days following T-tube cholangiography is exceedingly rare. CASE SUMMARY: This article details an instance of choledocholithiasis involving a 1.2 cm × 0.9 cm stone located in the lower and middle segments of the CBD, identified 30 days after T-tube cholangiography, accompanied by multiple microstones. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed dilation of both intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts, with the widest segment of the CBD measuring approximately 2 cm. The patient underwent laparoscopic choledochal exploration followed by choledochojejunostomy using the Roux-en-Y technique.

conclusionAlthough recurrence of choledocholithiasis within such a short postoperative period is exceedingly uncommon, this case underscores the necessity for clinicians to remain vigilant regarding the potential for early postoperative recurrence.
