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

Primary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the gallbladder is an extremely rare disease. We describe a case of a 79-year-old man with chronic hepatitis C-related cirrhosis presenting with acute epigastric pain and laboratory findings consistent with gallstone pancreatitis. He underwent a cholecystectomy, and histopathology review of the surgical specimen revealed a primary MALT lymphoma of the gallbladder. Staging studies revealed no evidence of metastatic disease but incidentally identified a malignancy of the prostate. The patient's gallbladder MALT lymphoma was managed conservatively with surgery and active surveillance, and he remains disease-free at two years status post surgery. This case expands the clinical spectrum of gallbladder MALT lymphoma, with, to our knowledge, the first report of pancreatitis as the presenting symptom. It underscores the importance of considering lymphoid neoplasms in atypical gallbladder disease and highlights the need to further evaluate the potential role of chronic hepatic inflammation in its pathogenesis.
