Laparoscopic management of an unexpected cholecystogastric fistula during elective cholecystectomy: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Cholecystogastric fistula (CGF) is a rare complication of chronic cholelithiasis characterized by an abnormal communication between the gallbladder and the stomach. We report the case of a 69-year-old female who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstone disease. Intraoperatively, a CGF was unexpectedly identified due to dense adhesions between the gallbladder and the gastric antrum. The fistula was successfully managed laparoscopically using a linear endostapler for resection and primary closure of the gastric defect, followed by standard cholecystectomy. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged within 24 hours. This case highlights the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic management of CGF in experienced hands while emphasizing the importance of intraoperative adaptability.
