Image-guided percutaneous cholecystostomy: a comprehensive review.
Review in Irish journal of medical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a common emergency condition with severity ranging from mild to severe. Gallstones and critical illnesses are the common predisposing factors. Mild AC is primarily managed with medical therapy and early cholecystectomy. Moderate and severe AC require individualized treatment with a preference for early cholecystectomy. However, cholecystectomy may not always be feasible due to co-morbidities. Hence, this group of patients needs minimally invasive methods to drain the gallbladder (GB). Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is the image-guided drainage of GB in the setting of moderate to severe AC. There are different approaches to PC. The technical aspects, success, and complications of PC as well as management of cholecystostomy catheter after the patient recovers from the acute episode should be thoroughly understood by the interventional radiologist. We present an extensive up-to-date review of the essential aspects of PC including indications, contraindications, techniques, and outcomes, including complications and success rates.
