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

Cystic duct cyst (CDC) is a rare biliary anomaly that may occur in isolation or in association with other choledochal cysts. While individual variants have been described, reports focusing on dual biliary pathology managed by a minimally invasive approach are limited. Surgical resection is recommended to prevent complications, including malignant transformation. We report the case of a 68-year-old woman with a remote history of cholecystectomy who presented with acute pancreatitis. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography identified a CDC associated with dilatation of the common bile duct. Laparoscopic resection of the cysts and biliodigestive reconstruction were performed without complications. This case highlights the novelty of a dual biliary cystic pathology involving a Type VI CDC and a Type I choledochal cyst managed entirely by a laparoscopic approach, emphasizing the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive surgery in complex biliary anomalies.
