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

Biloma is a rare but serious postoperative complication, often resulting from iatrogenic bile duct injury. We present the case of an 81-year-old woman with a delayed presentation of biloma complicated by sepsis, who required both interventional radiology (IR)-guided drainage and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with biliary stenting for management. There was a delay in diagnosis and management for this case, particularly due to a combination of subtle clinical signs, language and hearing barriers, and limited patient understanding of management. This report emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary care, culturally competent communication, and flexibility in managing bile leaks in older adults.
