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

The cholangioblastic variant of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is a rare subset of cholangiocarcinoma. Only a few cases have been reported, typically in young people with large tumours originally diagnosed as neuroendocrine tumours. Here we report the first case of this rare malignancy in a young female with situs inversus totalis. Our patient initially presented with early satiety and worsening left-sided abdominal pain. Laboratory values, imaging and biopsies diagnosed a neuroendocrine tumour of primary hepatic origin. However, tumour staging with DOTATATE-PET and FDG PET/CT suggested incongruency with the biopsied diagnosis and pathology after upfront surgical resection revealed the cholangioblastic variant of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
