Use of Percutaneous Cholecystostomy for the Management of Complicated Cholecystitis Causing Gastric Outlet Obstruction in an Elderly Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 management of complicated cholecystitis in an elderly patient can present a complex clinical decision for surgeons. There is literature supporting the use of immediate laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cases of uncomplicated cholecystitis in elderly patients and complicated cholecystitis in the general population. There are, however, no clear guidelines for treating the unique presentation of an elderly patient with complicated cholecystitis. This is likely due to the many clinical risk factors that must be considered when caring for these complex patients often with many medical comorbidities. In this report, we present the case of an 81-year-old male with complicated chronic cholecystitis leading to the exceedingly rare complication of gastric outlet obstruction. The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous cholecystostomy tube placement and interval subtotal laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
