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

Background: Normal common bile duct (CBD) diameter measurements are essential to distinguish from pathological conditions. The size criteria used for adults do not apply to children. There are differences among studies reported from various geographic regions. There is a lack of literature, particularly from India. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Central India. A sample size of 96 was calculated using a sample size formula to estimate the population mean. Children aged from newborns to 15 years old with no hepatobiliary pathology who required ultrasonography were included. The GE Logiq S8 ultrasound machine (GE Healthcare, Wauwatosa, WI, USA) was used to measure CBD diameter. Results: A total of 131 children were included, with a mean age of 6.05 ± 3.75 years (range: 1 month-14 years). The children were divided into three age groups: under 1 year ( Conclusion: The mean CBD diameter in children showed a positive correlation with age and liver span. This data can serve as a reference standard for CBD diameter in children, especially in Central India. It may aid in distinguishing pathologically dilated CBD.
