Case report: open surgical management of Bouveret syndrome.
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
Bouveret syndrome is a rare type of gallstone ileus, where a gallstone obstructs the duodenum due to a cholecystoduodenal fistula, accounting for 1-3% of cases, predominantly in women. The presentation of Bouveret syndrome is often nonspecific, including acute cholangitis, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, with significant morbidity and mortality risks. We report a 73-year-old man with complicated gallstone ileus, presenting with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Imaging revealed a 3-cm stone located in the proximal duodenum and was suspected to be associated with a choledochoenteric fistula. The procedure started laparoscopically but was converted to open surgery, successfully removing the stone. Postoperatively, the patient required bowel rest and total parenteral nutrition. He was discharged with a gastrostomy tube and a Jackson-Pratt drain for outpatient follow-up. A standardized surgical protocol that includes both endoscopic and open techniques should be investigated for effective management of Bouveret syndrome.
