Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of Gallbladder Presenting As Acute Calculous Cholecystitis.

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
Mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC) is a rare type of gallbladder cancer accounting for less than 5% of the reported cases. It is characterized by mucin deposition involving more than 50% of the tumor volume. It is a distinct subtype of gallbladder cancer and associated with poor prognosis. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is difficult. Most of the cases are diagnosed incidentally during the histopathological examination of the resected gallbladder. We report the case of a 75-year-old man who presented with right upper abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting for 15 days. Abdominal ultrasound revealed acute calculous cholecystitis for which he underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Histological examination of the gallbladder found ulcerated gallbladder mucosa lined with dysplastic epithelium. The tumor was mainly composed of dysplastic glands floating in the pools of mucin with invasion of the perivascular connective tissue suggestive of MAC. This case highlights the importance of histological examination of gallbladder after routine cholecystectomy.
