Diagnosis and treatment of cholecystogastric fistula: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Background: Internal biliary fistulas are uncommon complications of chronic cholelithiasis, with Cholecystogastric fistula being particularly rare. Due to their non-specific clinical presentation, they are often diagnosed intraoperatively. Case description: A 54-year-old male presented with a 7-day history of intermittent right upper quadrant pain. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) revealed pneumobilia and a suspected communication between the gallbladder and the gastric antrum. Subsequent gastroscopy confirmed the diagnosis, identifying a mucosal depression in the posterior gastric antrum with active bile drainage and an incarcerated gallstone. The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, excision of the fistula, and primary repair of the gastric defect. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged 17 days after surgery. Conclusion: This case underscores the diagnostic value of combining multi-slice CT with endoscopic evaluation for rare internal biliary fistulas. Surgical intervention remains the definitive treatment, and a preoperative diagnosis helps in the surgical planning.
