Gallstone Ileus Presenting As Small Bowel Obstruction: A Surgical Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Gallstone ileus is an uncommon complication of cholelithiasis. This case report discusses an 83-year-old patient who presented with chronic, intermittent abdominal discomfort that progressed to persistent nausea and vomiting, necessitating hospital admission. A CT scan confirmed the diagnosis of gallstone ileus, demonstrating Rigler's triad. The patient was successfully managed with a surgical enterotomy, specifically an enterolithotomy. Notably, the patient had no prior admissions for gallstone-related issues, despite a history of recurrent abdominal symptoms that had not been previously investigated. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and management of cholelithiasis, even in asymptomatic patients, to prevent delayed complications such as gallstone ileus, and underscores the critical role of imaging in the preoperative assessment of bowel obstruction.
