Gastric perforation mimicking acute cholecystitis: 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
Peptic ulcer disease is a common disorder typically presenting with right upper quadrant and epigastric pain. It can result in perforation when not identified and treated in a timely fashion. We report a case of a 71-year-old female who presented with a workup consistent with acute cholecystitis, who was found to have a gastric ulcer perforation intraoperatively when the prepyloric perforated ulcer was found to be adherent to the gallbladder wall. The case was treated via robotic-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The cholecystectomy was followed by primary closure of the ulcer defect with omental buttress without modifying port placement or converting to an open procedure. Our case exemplifies how different pathologies can present with similar physical exam findings and imaging, particularly in the upper abdomen. Additionally, this case demonstrates the safety and efficiency of adjustments to intraoperative technique permitted by robotic-assisted laparoscopy when confronted with unexpected findings.
