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 torsion is a rare condition and has very similar symptoms to acute cholecystitis and is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. We report the case of a patient who was initially diagnosed with cholecystitis and subsequently underwent surgery with a diagnosis of gallbladder torsion on the fifth day after onset. An 83-year-old woman presented with a 2-day history of gradually progressive lower abdominal pain. Computed tomography showed a gallstone and an enlarged gallbladder. We diagnosed the patient with gallstone cholecystitis and admitted her to hospital. As the abdominal pain had not improved by the next day, we performed a laparoscopic cholecystectomy on the fifth day onset. Intraoperative findings confirmed necrosis of the gallbladder and torsion at the gallbladder neck. Gallbladder torsion may be misdiagnosed as acute cholecystitis. When abdominal symptoms are not severe as in our case, semi-emergency surgery may be a viable option.
