Isolated Gallbladder Tuberculosis Mimicking Chronic Cholecystitis: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in hepatology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Isolated gallbladder tuberculosis (GBTB) is a rare disease, even in endemic areas, and is often misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific clinical and imaging findings. Histopathological evaluation, demonstrating granulomatous inflammation with caseous necrosis, remains the only definitive method of diagnosis. Thus, maintaining a high index of suspicion and routine histological assessment of resected specimens are vital for its timely management, especially in patients with a history of tuberculosis. We report a similar case in a 50-year-old male patient with imaging suggestive of gallbladder perforation and chronic cholecystitis, which later revealed a cryptic GBTB dug up during histopathological examination.
