Gallbladder perforation due to the obstructing periampullary duodenal diverticulum (Lemmel's syndrome): a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Lemmel's syndrome is a rare condition characterized by obstructive jaundice due to the periampullary duodenal diverticulum in the absence of choledocholithiasis or tumors. Its infrequent occurrence and non-specific clinical presentation can make it difficult to distinguish from other conditions. We present a case of Lemmel's syndrome in a 63-year-old male who exhibited symptoms of abdominal pain in right hypochondrium, vomiting, and fever. Imaging studies (magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatogram, computed tomography scan, and endoscopy) revealed an oval-shaped duodenal outpouching, distended gallbladder, common bile duct dilatation, and surprising localised gallbladder perforation leading to the diagnosis. Surgical intervention, including cholecystectomy and choledochoduodenostomy, successfully relieved the symptoms and biliary obstruction.
