Cholecystocolonic Fistula: A Case of Chronic Diarrhoea and Hidden Stones.

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
A cholecystocolonic fistula (CCF) is a rare cause of chronic diarrhoea. It most often occurs in elderly women as a result of chronic inflammation due to gallstone disease or, rarely, malignancy. Curative treatment consists of cholecystectomy with excision of the fistula tract, but it is often overlooked preoperatively and thus entails a higher risk of postoperative complications. Here, we present a case of a 78-year-old woman with chronic diarrhoea who was diagnosed with a CCF during a colonoscopy. Cholecystectomy was complicated by acute cholangitis due to an obstructive stone in the common bile duct (CBD) that was masked preoperatively due to alternative biliary drainage via the CCF. Recognition of this rare entity can enhance clinicians' diagnostic appraisal and limit postoperative complications.
