Biliary Roadblocks: A Case of a Short Cystic Duct in Routine Gallbladder Surgery.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This case report describes the intraoperative finding of a short cystic duct in a 73-year-old female patient undergoing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This case highlights the importance of careful preoperative imaging and intraoperative techniques to minimize complications when anatomical variations such as a short cystic duct are present. The report also underscores the necessity of heightened awareness for variations in biliary anatomy, as well as the potential risks they pose during cholecystectomy procedures.
