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

Supra-hepatic gallbladder is an exceptionally rare form of ectopic gallbladder. Its identification can be particularly challenging in patients with cirrhosis, where distortion of hepatic architecture obscures expected anatomical relationships. This report describes a case of supra-hepatic gallbladder in a patient with chronic liver disease, in which surrounding inflammatory oedema mimicked intra-abdominal fat necrosis, creating a significant diagnostic dilemma on imaging. Contribution: This case underscores the importance of recognizing unusual gallbladder locations, understanding their embryological basis, and being aware of potential imaging pitfalls and complications associated with ectopic positioning.
