Chest Pain and Palpitations After Spinal Surgery: An Atypical Presentation of Acute Cholecystitis.

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 cholecystitis is a common disease that affects ~200,000 people in the United States each year. Early diagnosis and gallbladder removal are associated with improved patient outcomes, including fewer postoperative complications, shorter length of stay, and lower hospital costs. Acute cholecystitis typically presents with right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain associated with nausea and vomiting. The pathophysiological mechanism of RUQ pain corresponds with dermatomes that arise from thoracic spinal cord levels T6 to T8. We describe a case of a 40-year-old male who presented with a 2-day history of substernal chest pain, which was worked up for acute coronary syndrome and was later found to have acute cholecystitis. This atypical presentation was attributed to the patient's history of a paraspinal schwannoma after resection with laminectomy, complicated by persistent right hemi-thoracoabdominal paresthesia. We aim to shed light on this atypical presentation of acute cholecystitis.
