Twists and Turns: Gallbladder Volvulus in an Elderly Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Gallbladder volvulus (GBV) is a rare medical condition characterized by twisting of the gallbladder around its mesentery. The condition presents with a higher prevalence in older, thin, elderly women and is a challenging diagnosis with nonspecific symptoms often overlapping with acute cholecystitis. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical to prevent complications including ischemia, necrosis, gangrene, perforation, or sepsis. This case is about a 94-year-old woman who presented with epigastric and right upper quadrant pain, nausea, and vomiting with non-specific laboratory results and radiographic findings, leading to an intraoperative diagnosis of GBV. This report underscores the importance of considering GBV in differentials for acute abdominal signs and symptoms and the challenges in diagnosing GBV preoperatively due to its non-specific presentation and, in this case, unrevealing laboratory findings.
