Management of obstructive jaundice secondary to hemorrhagic cholecystitis following a high-altitude fall: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 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
Hemorrhagic cholecystitis is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice and presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This case report describes a patient with obstructive jaundice secondary to hemorrhagic cholecystitis who was successfully treated with percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. A 42-year-old woman sustained a high-altitude fall resulting in pulmonary contusion and pelvic and femoral fractures. After orthopedic surgery, she developed hemorrhagic cholecystitis. Although percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage resolved the intragallbladder hemorrhage, obstructive jaundice persisted due to a blood clot in the common bile duct, caused by hemobilia, obstructed biliary outflow. Subsequent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography successfully removed the clot and restored biliary drainage. The patient achieved complete clinical recovery and was discharged without complications within 1 month. Obstructive jaundice due to hemorrhagic cholecystitis is uncommon and requires prompt diagnosis and intervention. To our knowledge, this report is among the few describing successful combined management with percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using a fully covered metal stent and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage for obstructive jaundice secondary to hemorrhagic cholecystitis complicated by hemobilia.
