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

Hydatid disease, also known as cystic echinococcosis, affecting the liver can vary in clinical presentation from uncomplicated to most complicated one that can rupture into the bile duct. In the past, surgery was the mainstay of treatment for biliary complications. However, with the increasing expertise of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, biliary complications are less common. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can be used preoperatively and postoperatively in patients presenting with jaundice to treat biliary obstruction and biliary fistula. In our case report, we illustrate the use of cholangioscopy with SpyGlass DS II Direct Visualization System (SpyGlass DS II; Boston Scientific) SpyBite Max forceps for complete removal of the parasite from the bile duct.
