Gallbladder bleeding associated with microscopic polyangiitis: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
A 71-year-old male who had a 6 years history of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) was admitted to our hospital with a chief complaint of upper abdominal pain and nausea. Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT revealed extravasation of contrast medium in the gallbladder, and the patient was diagnosed with gallbladder bleeding. Although we started conservative treatment, anemia, hypotension and tachycardia had progressed gradually. Therefore, we performed emergent laparoscopic cholecystectomy on the following day. Intraoperative findings showed a remarkably distended gallbladder due to interior clots; however, the cholecystitis itself was not significant. Histopathological findings showed infiltrations of inflammatory cells around the blood vessels and vascular rupture. The postoperative course was uneventful. MPA is a type of ANCA-associated vasculitis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of gallbladder bleeding associated with MPA. Spontaneous hemostasis cannot be expected, instead, surgical treatment must be performed promptly.
