A Study on Gallbladder Carcinoma With Special Reference to Risk Factors.
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
introductionGallbladder cancer (GBC) has been identified as one of the most fatal forms of gastrointestinal cancers worldwide by exhibiting a high incidence in North-Eastern India. This cancer mostly presents at an advanced stage, and various lifestyle, metabolic, and environmental elements have been linked to the onset. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the risk factors for gallbladder carcinoma and to establish the incidence pattern among patients visiting a tertiary cancer centre in the state of Assam.
methodsA hospital-based prospective study was conducted for six months, starting from May to October 2024, at the State Cancer Institute, Guwahati. Patients diagnosed with carcinoma of the gallbladder and attending the Surgical Oncology Outpatient Department were included in the study after obtaining informed consent on the day of data collection. Data were collected using a pre-tested structured proforma. Data analysis and visualisations for this study were assisted using
resultsThe study included 25 patients, with a mean age of 56.0 ± 14.7 years. Most participants were classified as middle-aged or elderly. Males constituted 16 (64%) of the cases, and 15 (60%) patients resided in rural areas. The mean BMI was 25.3 kg/m². Hypertension was present in 13 (52%) patients and diabetes mellitus in 10 (40%). Alcohol consumption was reported by 15 (60%), while 6 (24%) were current smokers. A non-vegetarian diet was followed by 16 (64%) of the participants, and 8 (32%) reported a family history of cancer. No statistically significant associations were observed between smoking and alcohol use (
conclusionsGallbladder carcinoma is recognised to remain a serious health problem in the state of Assam, mostly prevalent amongst the elderly population and in rural areas. The high incidence of exposures to metabolic and lifestyle factors strongly underscores the multifactorial theory of gallbladder carcinogenesis. Even though the statistical association had limitations due to sample size, the results strongly underscore the importance of targeted prevention and larger studies in high-incidence areas.
