Perforated Necrotizing Cholecystitis, Niemeier Type II, With Subcutaneous Abscess in a Frail Elderly Patient: Challenges in Diagnosis and Management.

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
Perforated necrotizing cholecystitis is a life-threatening complication of acute cholecystitis (AC), particularly in frail elderly patients, in whom atypical presentations may delay diagnosis. We report the case of an 89-year-old man with significant cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and renal comorbidities who presented with abdominal pain, nausea, and a palpable right upper quadrant mass mimicking gallbladder hydrops at presentation. Laboratory findings showed leukocytosis, elevated inflammatory markers, and acute-on-chronic renal dysfunction. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed perforated necrotizing cholecystitis with a large 13 × 3.4 cm loculated pericholecystic abscess. Given the hostile operative field and high surgical risk, the patient underwent open drainage and cholecystostomy. Cultures grew multidrug-resistant
