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

Cholecystogastric and cholecystocolonic fistulae are rare sequelae of longstanding cholelithiasis and can complicate surgical management. Our case involves a male patient in his early 40s with a history of chronic cholelithiasis who presented to the emergency department with severe abdominal pain. Findings on imaging were consistent with acute calculous cholecystitis. During laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the presence of both cholecystogastric and cholecystocolonic fistulae was discovered. Fistula resection with cholecystectomy in a one-step approach using indocyanine green (ICG) angiography was performed. The patient improved and was discharged 3 days later. Laparoscopic management complemented by ICG angiography is a viable surgical approach in patients with cholecystogastric and cholecystocolonic fistulae.
