Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for duplication of the gallbladder: A case report.

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
introductionGallbladder duplication is a rare anomaly among clinical gallbladder diseases, with an incidence of approximately 1: 4000 worldwide. Abnormal embryonic development can lead to gallbladder duplication and alterations in the morphology of these structures. Currently, laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains the preferred treatment for gallbladder duplication. However, due to its anatomical variations, it is easy to cause iatrogenic damage during surgery. PRESENTATION OF CASE: Here, we report the case of a 36-year-old female patient who was referred for recurrent biliary colic and underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as scheduled. A duplicated gallbladder was found intraoperatively. We successfully removed both of the gallbladders. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged four days after surgery. DISCUSSION: Due to its rarity, gallbladder duplication is seldom identified preoperatively due to various confounding factors; consequently, this condition is frequently diagnosed during surgery. Due to its anatomical variations, gallbladder duplication poses a significant risk of iatrogenic injury during surgical procedures, thus representing a significant challenge to the surgeon's experience and expertise.
conclusionLaparoscopic ultrasound (LUS) and indocyanine green-fluorescent cholangiography (ICG-FC) can help reduce the risk of vascular injury and enhance surgical safety, especially in patients with gallbladder malformations or when the anatomy of Calot's triangle is unclear due to severe inflammation.
