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

Small-duct primary sclerosing cholangitis (sd-PSC) is traditionally regarded as a milder variant of PSC with a lower risk of hepatobiliary malignancy. Its association with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) remains unexplored. A 61-year-old woman with newly diagnosed Crohn disease presented with weight loss, anemia, and a liver mass initially suspected as hepatocellular carcinoma; biopsy confirmed poorly differentiated iCCA (CK7+/CK19+/Arginase-). MRCP showed normal large ducts with focal intrahepatic dilatation; liver biopsy demonstrated periductal onion-skin fibrosis diagnostic of sd-PSC. This report documents the first instance of metastatic iCCA in sd-PSC-CD, challenging current hepato-biliary malignancy surveillance paradigms in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
