Role of Cystic Lymph Nodes in Incidental Gallbladder Cancer: Implications for Routine Excision and the Sentinel Lymph Node Concept.
Review 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
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a rare but aggressive malignancy, often diagnosed incidentally after or even during routine cholecystectomy for presumed benign conditions, the commonest being gallstone disease (GSD) - this is incidental GBC (iGBC). The involvement of cystic lymph nodes (CLNs), which are located near the cystic artery and the cystic duct, has been an area of clinical interest in predicting the prognosis, staging, and therapeutic decision-making of GBC. This review explores the significance of CLN status in iGBC, evaluates the potential benefits of routine CLN excision during simple cholecystectomy, and explores the applicability of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) concept in the management of iGBC.
