Biliary Amino Acids and Telocytes in Gallstone Disease.
Article in Metabolites, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The role of amino acids in cholesterol gallstone formation is not known. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the amino acid profile in the bile of patients with and without cholecystolithiasis in relation to bile lithogenicity and telocyte numbers within the gallbladder wall. The study included 23 patients with cholecystolithiasis and 12 gallstone-free controls. The levels of free amino acids in the bile were measured, and telocytes were identified and quantified in the gallbladder muscle wall. The mean values of valine, isoleucine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, glutamic acid, serine alanine, proline and cystine were significantly higher in the study group than in the controls (
