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

Biliary enteric fistulas are rare form of internal biliary fistula encountered in <1% of patients with biliary disease while cholecystocolic fistulas are even rarer with reported incidence of 0.06%-0.14% in patients undergoing cholecystectomy. We present a case of biliary colonic fistula that developed in the context of obstructive cholelithiasis, emphasizing a pathological process involving chronic inflammation due to gallstone with a gradual erosion into the surrounding structure. A high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis, given the presentation with nonspecific symptoms. Given the risk of imminent cholangitis, sepsis, and liver parenchymal damage, early treatment with cholecystectomy with the closure of the fistula is recommended.
