Anatomic and Histologic Examination of a Grossly Enlarged Gallbladder Fused to the Inferior Surface of the Liver.
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
The liver is an important organ located on the right side of the abdomen, predominantly responsible for controlling mechanisms related to metabolism, immunity, digestion, detoxification, and coagulation. The gallbladder is an organ present in the gallbladder fossa on the inferior surface of the liver. The main function of the gallbladder is to store and concentrate bile, aiding in fat digestion. In this article, we present a case report of an anomalous gallbladder discovered during cadaveric dissection. The gallbladder appeared to be fused to the inferior surface of the liver and was grossly enlarged. Furthermore, four diaphragmatic grooves were present on the superior surface of the liver. Histologic investigation revealed an acutely inflamed gallbladder wall at the point of fusion, and luminal contents composed mainly of fibrin and degraded blood products. This anatomy could potentially have clinical implications, such as in symptoms of acute and chronic inflammation and right upper quadrant pain. Furthermore, this article adds to the literature a representation of the gallbladder and would be useful in medical education.
