Gallbladder agenesis leading to an unnecessary surgery: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Gallbladder agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly of the biliary system. Preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder agenesis is challenging and such conditions are often identified intraoperatively. In this report, we present a case of gallbladder agenesis encountered during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Case presentation: A 47-year-old female patient attended our hospital in August 2023 due to distension and discomfort in the right upper quadrant. Ultrasound images revealed that the patient's gallbladder was filled with gallstones. The patient was admitted to our hospital for laparoscopic cholecystectomy; however, no gallbladder was visualized during the laparoscopy, and the final diagnosis was congenital absence of the gallbladder. Conclusion: The diagnosis of Gallbladder agenesis remains a challenge, It may lead to an unnecessary surgery if physicians do not pay attention to careful differential diagnosis.
