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 incidence of symptomatic acute cholecystitis with large (greater than 5.5 cm) abdominal aortic aneurysm is an uncommon occurrence. Guidelines on concomitant repair in this setting remain elusive, particularly in the era of endovascular repair. We present a case of acute cholecystitis in a 79-year-old female presenting to a local rural emergency room with abdominal pain and known abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a 5.5 cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, significantly greater in size compared to previous imaging, as well as a distended gallbladder with mild wall thickening and cholelithiasis concerning for acute cholecystitis. The two conditions were found to be unrelated to each other, but concerns were raised on appropriate timing of care. Following diagnosis, the patient underwent concomitant treatment of acute cholecystitis and large abdominal aortic aneurysm with laparoscopic and endovascular techniques, respectively. In this report, we take the opportunity to discuss the treatment of patients with AAA and concomitant symptomatic acute cholecystitis.
