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

Acute alithiatic cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder without evidence of gallstones, often due to infection. It can occur at any age, and it is predominant in males. Listeriosis is a rare bacterial infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes (LM) through the ingestion of contaminated food such as dairy, legumes, and raw meats. Clinical presentations of listeriosis include bacteremia, meningitis, and gastroenteritis. Acute cholecystitis caused by listeria is even more uncommon, with only 23 cases reported in the literature. We present a case of a 65-year-old male, admitted to the Emergency Department with fever and altered state of consciousness which revealed bacteremia due to cholecystitis to LM. The patient was submitted to laparoscopic cholecystectomy and appropriate antibiotic coverage and was discharged seven days later. Early recognition and treatment of this disease are crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality.
