Mirizzi Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 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
Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is a rare complication of chronic gallstones. Mirizzi syndrome is characterized by a set of symptoms that results from obstruction of the common hepatic or common bile duct (CBD). This may be due to extrinsic compression from an impacted gallstone in the gallbladder neck or cystic duct because of inflammatory changes secondary to chronic gallstone cholecystitis. We present a case of an 86-year-old patient with chronic gallstones who presented with abdominal pain and jaundice. The patient was diagnosed with MS type V after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). CBD stone fragments/debris were removed, and the patient was referred for surgical intervention for the repair of cholecystoduodenal fistula. MS must be in the differential diagnosis in elderly patients with chronic gallstone cholecystitis presenting with obstructive jaundice. Multiple diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are required to diagnose and manage the different types of MS. We aim to present the case to highlight and raise awareness of MS, particularly in patients with chronic gallstones.
