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

In pediatric patients, gallbladder polyps (GBPs) are lesions that are usually found incidentally on ultrasonography, which is the first-line modality for diagnosis. Though common in adults, GBPs are rare in children, and their prevalence remains unclear. Most GBPs in children are benign, and although the risk of malignancy is influenced by polyp size, growth rate, and morphology, specific criteria for the pediatric population are lacking. Management, therefore, is based on adult guidelines, with cholecystectomy being recommended only in symptomatic patients and for rapidly enlarging or 10-mm polyps and those with unfavorable morphology to avert the risk of malignant transformation, while surveillance is applied to asymptomatic patients with smaller polyps. Further research is needed to develop pediatric-specific guidelines for the management of GBPs. This review discusses the classification, diagnosis, risk factors, and management of pediatric GBPs.
