Incidental Diagnosis of Cholecystocolonic Fistula in An Asymptomatic Male: A Rare Case Presentation.
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
Cholecystocolonic fistula (CCF) is a rare complication of chronic gallbladder disease, most commonly seen in elderly women aged 60-70 years. Although most cases are detected on imaging, some are discovered incidentally during surgery. If discovered preoperatively, management can be provided operatively or nonoperatively, depending on symptoms and severity. We present a case of a CCF that was discovered in an asymptomatic 72-year-old man during routine colonoscopy screening. Imaging confirmed the diagnosis, and surgical management was performed. This was initially attempted robotically, but was converted to an open cholecystectomy with a proximal transverse colon resection. The patient's postoperative course was unremarkable, and was followed up for a three-month period after their surgery. This case highlights the atypical presentation of CCF and current diagnostic challenges and surgical approaches.
