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

Accessory gallbladder is an uncommon congenital anomaly that may present significant diagnostic and surgical challenges, particularly when associated with biliary complications. We report a case presenting features of common bile duct obstruction and cholangitis. Multimodality imaging, including computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, enabled preoperative identification of an accessory gallbladder. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography was especially useful in differentiating this anomaly from other cystic biliary lesions and in accurately delineating the biliary anatomy. These findings guided management, allowing detection of common bile duct stone migration and appropriate treatment. This case highlights the key role of imaging in the accurate diagnosis of rare biliary anomalies and in reducing the risk of surgical complications
