[Comprehensive Approach to Emphysematous Cholecystitis: A Case Series].
Article in Acta gastroenterologica Latinoamericana. 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
Introduction: Emphysematous cholecystitis is a rare form of acute cholecystitis. Case series: We present four patients aged 55 and 79 years old (three men and one woman). One of the patients had no pathological history, while the others were diabetic. All of them underwent a computed tomography scan. Two patients underwent videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy with good evolution, while the other two underwent percutaneous cholecystostomy.Discussion. Emphysematous cholecystitis is the presence of gas in the lumen or wall of the gallbladder. The morbidity rate is 50%. Patients usually suffer from diabetes, but it may occur in younger patients without risk factors. Computed tomography is the method of choice for diagnosis. The definitive treatment is videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy, although the percutaneous cholecystostomy is another valid option. Conclusions: Videolaparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered an effective and safe approach for the treatment of emphysematous cholecystitis.
