Lessons Learned From Cholecystectomy for a Giant Gallstone.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Giant gallstones are a rare phenomenon that may pose technical challenges for surgeons. We describe the case of an 81-year-old female who presented to our regional health service with acute cholecystitis and a computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrating a possible porcelain gallbladder. Her index presentation was conservatively managed with intravenous antibiotics due to body habitus and concerns for the porcelain gallbladder, with a good clinical response. She subsequently underwent an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy which was converted to an open approach due to technical challenges. She was found to have a chronically inflamed gallbladder containing a giant gallstone. We report our successful management of a chronically inflamed gallbladder involving a giant gallstone. We also explore diagnostic considerations and surgical approaches to tackle the technical challenges we encountered in this case.
