Challenging intrahepatic laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
There have been reports of gallbladders in several ectopic locations. A gallbladder that is intrahepatic is one that is located along the anterior inferior right lobe of the liver or within the liver parenchyma. A 39-year-old male patient presented with symptoms that led to a gallbladder origin and was worked up using ultrasonography, which confirmed the presence of a contracted gallbladder with multiple stones. The patient was booked electively for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Diagnostic laparoscopy was utilized and revealed only the lower end of the gallbladder, while the rest was embedded within the liver parenchyma. After resection, the gallbladder was sent to pathology and came back as chronic cholecystitis. The patient was discharged with an unremarkable postoperative period. Intrahepatic gallbladders can be very challenging to locate during a laparoscopic procedure, but can still be managed without converting to an open technique.
