Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for a giant gallstone: insights from a case report in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
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 1 paper.
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
Gallstones are very common. However, giant gallstones are extremely rare and only few cases are reported in literature. Giant gallstones oppose the patient to a high risk of complications. We hereby report a case of a giant gallstone measuring 6 cm. A 63-years-old obese female, known to have hypertension and diabetes, was admitted electively for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic incisional hernia repair with mesh. The patient was set for surgery and the gallstone (measuring 6 cm) was successfully managed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Giant gallstones measuring ˃5 cm in diameter, although rare, can oppose the patient to high risk of complications. We hereby report a case of a giant gallstone measuring 6 cm that was managed successfully by laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
