A Curious Case of a Floating Gallbladder.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
A floating gallbladder is a quite uncommon anatomical anomaly characterized by a gallbladder that is completely or partially suspended by a mesentery, resulting in increased mobility within the abdominal cavity. This unusual configuration can predispose the organ to torsion, ischemia, or necrosis, although it often remains asymptomatic and is discovered incidentally. This report presents a rare case of a floating gallbladder identified unexpectedly during surgical intervention. We discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, intraoperative findings, and management strategies, along with a review of potential complications associated with this condition. The rarity of this anomaly underscores the importance of awareness among clinicians, particularly surgeons, to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure prompt, appropriate management when encountered.
