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

Cholecystohepatic communication is a rare complication of gallbladder rupture in dogs, and its imaging features are not well described. A 10-year-old Pomeranian showed a gallbladder wall defect, a tortuous tubular structure extending into an adjacent ill-defined hepatic lesion. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography revealed marked enhancement of the tubular structure and weaker heterogeneous enhancement of the hepatic lesion. Laparotomy confirmed gallbladder rupture with severe adhesion at the suspected communication site. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography enabled delineation of the enhancing tubular structure and improved characterization of the adjacent hepatic inflammation, increasing diagnostic confidence in cholecystohepatic communication secondary to gallbladder rupture.
