Giant Primary Choledocholithiasis: A Rare Case Report and Comprehensive Review of Literature.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Choledocholithiasis is the second most common complication of gallstone disease. Giant primary choledocholithiasis is a rare occurrence. Ultrasonography is the initial mode of imaging, and endoscopic ultrasound is considered superior to other modalities. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography can be used for stone extraction. Other treatment modalities include laparoscopic or open common bile duct (CBD) exploration. Many institutions in underdeveloped countries still practice open CBD exploration. Factors such as larger stone diameter, edema of the CBD, and the presence of multiple lithiasis can influence the treatment approach. In this article we are presenting a case of 62 years-old-female with no any known comorbidities had presented to emergency with severe upper quadrant pain and giant choledocholithiasis was diagnosed in ultrasound and computed tomography scan with no other features of complications and patient successfully underwent open CBD exploration with intraoperative choledochoscopy and primary closure.
