Eosinophilic infiltration in gallbladder pathologies: A clinical dilemma.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 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
objectivesTo determine the clinicopathological features and prevalence of Eosinophilic cholecystitis (EC) with a single-center experience. Eosinophilic cholecystitis is an exceedingly uncommon pathologic issue caused by examining cholecystectomy specimens.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 8,342 cholecystectomy specimens. Of these, 33 pathology results confirmed EC and were re-examined by pathologists. This study obtained demographic data, medical histories, comorbidities, clinical laboratory results, radiological findings, and pathological information from an electronic record system.
resultsThe average age of the patients was 47 years, with a range of 24 to 82 years. Acute cholecystitis was reported in 5 (15.6%), chronic cholecystitis in 25 (75.8%), and cholelithiasis in 3 (9.1%) gallbladder specimens. Five of the 33 patients had liver hydatid cysts. There was no statistically significant difference in parameters such as blood eosinophil count, eosinophil ratio, eosinophil count in the gallbladder wall, and gallbladder wall thickness between patients with and without liver hydatid cysts who had eosinophilic cholecystitis.
conclusionEosinophilic infiltration is a component of inflammatory processes, including acute and chronic inflammation. Importantly, hydatid cysts can be observed in the liver, which relates to EC. In our study, no distinct clinical, laboratory, or radiological findings of EC were identified, and the diagnosis of EC was made pathologically.
