"Rapid progression of gallbladder cancer from stage I to stage IV in 4-months: A case highlighting the critical need for timely intervention".
Article in Radiology 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
Gallbladder cancer is the most common biliary tract malignancy, primarily affects older women and strongly associated with cholelithiasis. Early detection is critical, as prognosis worsens significantly with disease progression. This case involves a 68-year-old male, who presented with abdominal pain, jaundice, and cachexia. Imaging initially revealed a stage I gallbladder cancer with associated cholelithiasis. Despite recommendations for prompt surgical, histopathological and oncological referral, patient's socioeconomic barriers delayed intervention. Within 4 months, the cancer progressed to stage IV, with direct invasion of the liver and duodenum, vascular thrombosis, and metastatic lymphadenopathy, ultimately leading to the patient's death. This case highlights the devastating impact of delayed care for gallbladder cancer, underscoring the need for improved access to early diagnosis, timely referrals, strengthening specialized medical services at regional level and coordinated multidisciplinary management of aggressive malignancies.
