Xanthogranulomatous Cholecystitis in a 15-Year-Old Girl: A Case Report and Literature Review.
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
Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare and severe variant of cholecystitis that poses significant diagnostic and surgical challenges. While predominantly seen in adults, its occurrence in pediatric patients is exceedingly rare, with very few cases documented in the literature. We present the case of a 15-year-old girl initially diagnosed with acute calculous cholecystitis who underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Intraoperatively, extensive pseudo-tumorous inflammation was identified, with fusion of the gallbladder into the omentum, duodenum, and colon, necessitating a subtotal cholecystectomy. Her postoperative recovery was complex, requiring endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and she was ultimately discharged after a prolonged hospital stay. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of XGC. This case highlights the complexities of managing this rare entity in pediatric patients.
