A Case of Asymptomatic Perforated Gangrenous Cholecystitis in a Diabetic Patient: A Critical Condition.
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
Gangrenous cholecystitis (GC) is a severe form of acute cholecystitis (AC) with ischemia and necrosis of the gallbladder (GB) wall. Patients with GC are sicker than the usual AC patients, and their surgical treatment is more complex and linked with a higher risk of morbidity and mortality. Typically, the first imaging modality used to assess patients with clinically suspected AC is ultrasound. However, if the ultrasound results were inconclusive, a CT scan might help evaluate these individuals. Our study presents a 62-year-old male who presented with mild right upper quadrant discomfort. However, an abdominal computed tomography CT scan showed a pericholecystic fluid collection with a sign of GB perforation that was managed with subtotal cholecystectomy. Five days after the operation, the patient was discharged to home in excellent condition.
