Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis Secondary to Acute Pyelonephritis in a Young Woman: A Diagnostic Pitfall in the Emergency Department.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is typically observed in critically ill patients, making its diagnosis in otherwise healthy individuals a significant clinical challenge. We present a rare case of a 29-year-old woman initially suspected of having AAC based on clinical assessment and ultrasonography. While initial imaging fulfilled the sonographic criteria for acalculous cholecystitis, subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed right-sided acute pyelonephritis with secondary reactive gallbladder changes. The patient was successfully managed conservatively with intravenous followed by oral antibiotics, resulting in complete recovery without surgical intervention. This case underscores the potential for renal pathology to mimic primary biliary disease and highlights the critical role of advanced imaging in preventing unnecessary invasive procedures in the emergency department.
