Cholecystocolonic Fistula Presenting With Gallstone Ileus: A Report of a Rare Surgical Case.
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
Cholecystocolonic fistula (CCF) is a rare entity resulting from chronic gallstone disease. Here we describe a 60-year-old female who presented with abdominal distension, colicky pain, and constipation for a period of five days. Imaging studies revealed pneumobilia and small bowel obstruction. Exploration via laparotomy revealed a 3.5 cm gallstone lodged in the terminal end of the ileum and a fistulous tract from the gallbladder to the hepatic flexure of the colonic bowel. Surgical intervention consisted of enterolithotomy, cholecystectomy, and colonic resection with primary anastomosis. Fortunately, postoperative recovery was smooth and uneventful. Preoperative diagnostic challenges, the salience of imaging, and surgical intervention are emphasized in this case. As a brief background review, we searched the literature to outline the spectrum of the disease and the advancing methods to overcome CCF.
