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

Pseudoaneurysm of cystic artery is a rare complication of severe acute cholecystitis. We report an unusual complication of pseudoaneurysm of the cystic artery. A 42-year-old man with severe acute cholecystitis developed symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction, which was confirmed by upper endoscopy. Cross-sectional imaging showed a para duodenal hematoma because of ruptured cystic artery pseudoaneurysm. Selective angiogram confirmed the above findings, and the patient underwent therapeutic coil embolization of the pseudoaneurysm, with resolution of the symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction. An unexplained drop in hematocrit in the setting of severe cholecystitis should alert the clinician to the possibility of cystic artery pseudoaneurysm and its complications.
