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

We describe a case of concurrent Mirizzi syndrome and choledocholithiasis in a woman in her mid-60s. The abnormalities were first identified on abdominal ultrasound and subsequently confirmed with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Imaging demonstrated extrinsic compression of the common hepatic duct (CHD) by an impacted gallstone at the cystic duct along with concomitant calculi in the distal common bile duct (CBD). The patient underwent open cholecystectomy with CBD exploration, choledochoscopy, and choledochoduodenostomy. This case emphasizes the essential role of cross-sectional imaging in detecting coexisting biliary pathologies and facilitating accurate preoperative diagnosis, which is essential for optimal surgical planning and improved patient outcomes.
