Adenosquamous Carcinoma of the Gallbladder: A Rare Surgical Entity.
Article in Cureus, 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
Gallbladder cancer (GBC), while infrequent, is the predominant malignancy of the biliary tract. The absence of clinical symptoms in conjunction with aggressive behavior contributes to delayed diagnosis and unfavorable prognosis. This condition typically remains asymptomatic in its initial stages, making detection challenging. Herein, we report a case of adenosquamous carcinoma of the gallbladder in a 74-year-old Caucasian woman who was admitted due to anemia, gastrointestinal bleeding, and abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen demonstrated a formation adjacent to the neck of the gallbladder. A lesion with unclear boundaries in the IVb liver segment was also observed. CT-guided percutaneous biopsies were conducted on the thickened wall of the gallbladder and the suspicious area of the liver. The histological report from liver biopsy indicated carcinoma of the gallbladder characterized by squamous differentiation. Τhe case was discussed in an oncology board meeting, and the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy. Intraoperative observations revealed an invasive gallbladder neoplasm extending to the hepatoduodenal junction and the second part of the duodenum. The surgical team performed cholecystostomy and gastrojejunostomy with palliative intent. Gallbladder wall biopsies were obtained intraoperatively and histopathology results confirmed the initial diagnosis of adenosquamous carcinoma. The patient was referred to an oncology board meeting, and it was decided to be a combination of chemotherapy and chemoradiation according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines.
