Synchronous Acute Appendicitis and Acute Cholecystitis: A Report of a Rare 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
Two of the most common emergent surgical interventions are acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis. However, synchronous presentation is rare. In this report, we present a 29-year-old female patient with three days of worsening right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain with nausea and vomiting. Physical examination showed tenderness to palpation at the RLQ. Workup showed acute appendicitis with probable localized perforation and peri-appendiceal abscess, and CT-guided drainage was performed. The patient was discharged after four days. Seventeen days later, the patient returned to the ED with complaints of new right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain with nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. The ultrasound showed similar gallbladder findings with a positive sonographic Murphy's sign. A CT scan showed appendicitis and cholecystitis with gallstones and mild gallbladder wall thickening. The patient then had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and appendectomy. This case report sheds new light on this rare and interesting surgical emergency.
