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

The majority of patients with cholecystolithiasis are asymptomatic. Hemobilia is a rare complication of cholecystolithiasis. It is also an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, where the source of bleeding may be difficult to diagnose. This case report describes a middle-aged woman who experienced recurrent upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage both in the pre-admission period and during hospitalization. Treatment with medication, endoscopy, and interventional procedures yielded poor results, and the cause of the upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage was difficult to confirm. Ultimately, the diagnosis was confirmed and the condition was treated through exploratory laparotomy. In this report, we analyze the diagnostic and treatment process in this case to improve clinicians' understanding of the causes of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, the complications of cholecystolithiasis, and the surgical indications for cholecystolithiasis or upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
