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

Neoplasia-related extrahepatic biliary obstruction (EHBO) is rare in dogs. An 11-year-old spayed mixed-breed dog had intermittent jaundice for several months. Imaging showed a lesion extending from the distal common bile duct to the major duodenal papilla. To relieve EHBO, transduodenal ampullectomy was performed, followed by partial duodenectomy including the papillary orifice and cholecystoduodenostomy. Histopathological examination revealed ampullary adenocarcinoma with invasion into the duodenal muscularis propria; margins were tumor-free. At >2 years after surgery, metastasis was not detected, and the dog remained clinically well. To our knowledge, this is the first report of canine ampullary carcinoma, suggesting that transduodenal ampullectomy can be useful for both palliative biliary decompression and the assessment of invasion depth to guide subsequent definitive surgery.
