Factors influencing the cure of pseudolithiasis: a retrospective study of 264 patients.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. 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
objectiveTo identify independent predictors of complete resolution in patients with pseudobiliary calculi and evaluate the effectiveness of different therapeutic strategies.
methodsClinical data were retrospectively analyzed from 264 patients with pseudobiliary calculi admitted to The First Hospital of Lanzhou University between January 2018 and December 2019. Patients were categorized into complete resolution group (n = 43) and persistent group (n = 221) based on discharge CT findings. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the impact of demographic characteristics, laboratory parameters, comorbidities, and therapeutic interventions on prognosis.
resultsAmong 264 enrolled patients, 43 (16.29%) achieved complete resolution while 221 (83.71%) showed persistent calculi. Univariate analysis revealed significant differences between groups in gender (χ
conclusionOur research indicates that, unlike chronic cholelithiasis, pseudolithiasis exhibits uniqueness and temporality. The underlying inflammatory gallbladder diseases and their treatments may facilitate the rapid resolution of pseudolithiasis, while factors such as viral hepatitis and decompensated cirrhosis may affect liver function and bile composition but do not appear to directly contribute to the occurrence of pseudolithiasis. Furthermore, differences in sex hormone levels may result in a higher rate of short-term resolution of pseudolithiasis in male patients compared to females. These findings provide preliminary evidence for the prevention and management strategies of pseudolithiasis.
