Gallbladder Volvulus Masquerading as Acute Cholecystitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Gallbladder volvulus is a rare condition that disproportionately affects elderly women. It occurs in patients with aberrant anatomy that results in a hypermobile gallbladder free to twist on the mesentery, leading to ischemia and necrosis. Due to its close resemblance to cholecystitis, it is difficult to diagnose preoperatively, thus most cases are diagnosed intraoperatively. In our case, a 90-year-old female was transferred to the hospital from an outside facility after being diagnosed with acute cholecystitis. A robotic-assisted laparoscopic approach was used to gain entry into the abdomen. Upon entry, the gallbladder was gangrenous, detached from the liver bed, and twisted on the cystic duct. Despite the presence of severe inflammatory changes and adhesions, the gallbladder was resected without complications, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day five.
