Gallbladder Volvulus Mimicking an Intra-abdominal Malignancy in an Elderly Patient on Warfarin: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Gallbladder volvulus is a rare but potentially fatal condition that may present with symptoms mimicking intra-abdominal malignancy, including constitutional symptoms and mass-like imaging findings. We present the case of an 85-year-old female on chronic anticoagulation with warfarin, who was evaluated for an epigastric mass initially suspected to be lymphoma or colon cancer. CT imaging revealed a large, heterogeneous mass in the epigastric region, while ultrasound demonstrated significant gallbladder distention, wall thickening, and pericholecystic fluid. This report highlights the challenges in obtaining an accurate diagnosis and stresses the urgent need for swift imaging and intervention to distinguish between surgical emergencies and oncologic-related conditions in elderly patients.
