A case report of gallstone ileus caused by biliary-intestinal fistula: Multidetector computed tomography features analysis.

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
introduction and significanceGallstone ileus is a mechanical intestinal obstruction caused by gallstones or stones from the common bile duct entering the intestinal canal through a biliary-intestinal fistula and becoming impacted. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scanning is the most important auxiliary diagnostic method for this disease. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a rare case of gallstone ileus involving an elderly female patient and analyze the characteristics of the MDCT images: atrophic cholecystitis, gallstones, the formation of a local duodenal-gallbladder fistula, pneumatosis in the intrahepatic bile ducts of the left lobe of the liver and some extrahepatic bile ducts, intestinal mechanical obstruction, and the presence of an ectopic stone. A partial small bowel resection was performed and the stone was removed. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Gallstone ileus is a rare disease that often occurs in elderly women. It has no specific clinical symptoms and is prone to delayed diagnosis and treatment. MDCT scanning is the most sensitive and accurate diagnostic method for gallstone ileus, once the disease is clearly diagnosed, surgical treatment is recommended as soon as possible.
conclusionThe aim of this study is to elevate the understanding and treatment of gallstone ileus.
