Idiopathic eosinophilic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis: Two rare cases report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
introduction and importanceEosinophilic cholecystitis is an unusual condition in which more than 90 % of the inflammatory infiltrate in the gallbladder wall is comprised of eosinophils. The pathogenesis of eosinophilic cholecystitis is still unknown, but in some cases, it is related to hyper-eosinophilic syndrome, parasitosis, infections, and drugs. CASE PRESENTATION: We described two cases in which a woman aged 27 years and a man aged 30 years presented with acute and chronic cholecystitis symptoms, respectively. The ultrasound revealed calculous cholecystitis. The cholecystectomy was performed, and the pathological examination of the surgical specimen revealed eosinophilic cholecystitis. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Eosinophilic cholecystitis is a rare disease of the gallbladder. It accounts for 0.25 to 6.4 % of cholecystitis cases. It is characterized by eosinophils infiltration in the lamina propria and the muscle layer. There are no specific symptoms of this disease; it presents as typical cholecystitis. The histopathological investigation is the gold standard for diagnosing eosinophilic cholecystitis, and cholecystectomy is the ultimate treatment for it.
conclusionEosinophilic cholecystitis is a rare condition characterized by acute cholecystitis with eosinophilic infiltration of the gallbladder. In patients with eosinophilic cholecystitis, a comprehensive assessment of the underlying causes is recommended.
