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

Gallbladder cancer often presents a poor prognosis and can cause skip metastasis to the para-aortic lymph nodes. Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate treatment. We present the case of an 86-year-old male patient with gallbladder cancer initially suspected to have para-aortic lymph node metastasis. Intraoperative pathology of a para-aortic mass revealed that it was a paraganglioma (PGL); both tumors were successfully resected. The patient was discharged on the ninth postoperative day without complications and remained recurrence-free for 18 months. The final diagnosis was gallbladder adenocarcinoma (pT1a(M)pN0pM0, pStage I) and para-aortic PGL. Differentiating para-aortic masses in gallbladder cancer is crucial. Preoperative evaluations, including positron emission tomography-computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasound-fine needle biopsy, can enhance diagnostic accuracy. This case underscores the importance of considering PGL as a differential diagnosis of a para-aortic mass and the value of intraoperative pathology in guiding appropriate surgical interventions.
