Managing Hepatic Cysts in the Setting of Surgery for Cholecystitis.
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
Hepatic cysts are relatively common and often present with non-specific symptoms such as nausea and abdominal pain. While most are benign simple cysts, the differential diagnosis includes infectious, inflammatory, and malignant etiologies. Imaging, including ultrasound and cross-sectional modalities, is key to diagnosis. Hepatic cysts can occasionally present with symptoms that overlap with gallbladder disease, complicating the clinical picture. We present the case of a patient with chronic cholecystitis who was found to have an incidental hepatic cyst obstructing the gallbladder. Given its size and obstructive nature, concurrent laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cyst fenestration with excision were performed. The procedure was completed safely, and the patient had an uneventful recovery. Histopathology confirmed a benign simple cyst. This case highlights the importance of recognizing hepatic cysts preoperatively and managing them intraoperatively to ensure safe surgical outcomes.
