Emphysematous Cholangitis Caused by Gas-producing Bacteria with an Initial Literature Review.
Review in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Emphysematous cholecystitis has a poor prognosis and necessitates prompt surgery or drainage. Emphysematous cholangitis (EC) is believed to have a similar clinical course, but reports are limited. We herein report the case of a 79-year-old woman who presented with epigastric pain and was diagnosed with EC. Rapid deterioration occurred after admission, requiring intensive and prolonged intravenous antibiotic therapy, despite immediate drainage and antibiotic therapy. We reviewed the background, causative organisms, treatment, and outcomes of EC through a literature search. Our findings provide insights into its similarities to emphysematous cholecystitis, emphasizing the need for expeditious drainage and anaerobic bacterial coverage during antibiotic therapy.
