Biliary Dyskinesia Presenting as Atypical Chest Pain: A 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
Biliary dyskinesia typically presents with right upper quadrant or epigastric pain, but we describe an atypical case in a 58-year-old man with diabetes who presented with left-sided chest pain radiating to his left arm. His presentation initially suggested a cardiac etiology; however, cardiac evaluation, including stress testing and serial troponins, was negative. CT imaging incidentally revealed gallstones, prompting further investigation. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy subsequently confirmed biliary dyskinesia with a reduced gallbladder ejection fraction of 19%. Although surgical management was recommended, the patient elected to defer cholecystectomy and continue outpatient follow-up. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis when standard evaluations are unrevealing, as biliary pathology may mimic cardiac symptoms.
