Bouveret Syndrome: A Surgery-Sparing Endoscopic Approach.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Cholelithiasis is a common condition, and complications of gallstone disease include cholecystitis, cholangitis, pancreatitis, and, rarely, gallstone ileus or Bouveret syndrome. We present a case of a 79-year-old male with multiple comorbidities who was treated using endoscopic techniques to avoid the risks associated with surgery. The approach utilized holmium laser lithotripsy and electrohydraulic lithotripsy over multiple sessions to fragment and remove the large gallstone causing a duodenal obstruction. Conservative management of a subsequent duodenal perforation led to successful recovery. This case highlights the potential for endoscopic methods to manage gallstone ileus in high-risk patients, reducing complications and potentially avoiding surgery.
