1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 duplication is a rare congenital anomaly that may complicate the diagnosis and surgical management of biliary disease. We report the case of a 42-year-old gentleman presenting with the sudden onset of right upper abdominal pain, nausea, and emesis. Imaging revealed a duplicated gallbladder with cholelithiasis and sonographic features consistent with acute cholecystitis. The patient underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which revealed a bilobed gallbladder with a single cystic duct. This case highlights the diagnostic and operative challenges associated with gallbladder duplication and emphasizes the importance of preoperative recognition to ensure safe and effective surgical intervention.
