Chronic Right Hypochondrial Pain Due to a Painful Abdominal Wall Lipoma Mimicking Hepatobiliary Disease: A Case Report.
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
Chronic right hypochondrial pain is most often evaluated in the context of hepatobiliary disease. When routine investigations fail to identify an intra-abdominal cause, alternative sources of pain should be considered. We report the case of a patient with long-standing right upper abdominal pain that was exacerbated by movement and local palpation and had been repeatedly assessed for biliary pathology. Initial imaging suggested a possible gallbladder abnormality, which was not reproduced on subsequent examinations. Further focused assessment revealed a localized lesion with sonographic appearances of lipoma within the abdominal wall at the site of maximal tenderness. The size of the lesion was approximately 1 × 1.4 cm. The clinical features and imaging findings were consistent with an abdominal wall source of pain. This report emphasizes the value of thorough physical examination and targeted ultrasonography in patients with persistent right hypochondrial pain to prevent unnecessary investigations and delays in diagnosis.
