The surgical management of a diabetic patient with gallbladder duplication complicated by acute cholecystitis: Case report.

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
backgroundDuplication of the gallbladder is a rare occurrence and seldom detected before surgery but can complicate the procedure, potentially leading to a higher likelihood of converting to open surgery and encountering complications. Symptoms, when present, typically relate to gallstone disease and cholecystitis. We report a unique case of a diabetic patient with duplicate gallbladder complicated by acute cholecystitis, which was effectively treated through laparoscopic cholecystectomy. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 51-year-old man with well-managed diabetes presented with right upper quadrant pain worsened by fatty meals. Initially diagnosed with acute acalculous cholecystitis, he was treated conservatively with antibiotics and pain relief. Recurrent symptoms led to cholecystostomy tube insertion, offering temporary relief. Subsequent imaging identified a double gallbladder with inflammatory changes, confirmed by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed, revealing an inflamed double gallbladder with a unique arterial supply. Histopathology showed inflammation without malignancy, and the procedure was complication-free. DISCUSSION: Reporting this case of gallbladder duplication in a diabetic patient suffering from acute cholecystitis is important due to its rarity and surgical management challenges it presents. This case offers valuable insights into handling complex biliary anatomies, highlights the necessity for customized surgical techniques and thorough perioperative care, and enriches the medical literature by adding knowledge about uncommon surgical situations.
conclusionThe case presented highlights the successful surgical management of acute cholecystitis in a diabetic patient with gallbladder duplication. Despite the anatomical complexity, laparoscopic techniques proved effective in achieving successful surgical outcomes with minimal invasiveness and reduced postoperative complications.
