Typhoid peritonitis due to ileal and gallbladder perforations in a child: a case report.
Article in International journal of surgery 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
Introduction: Typhoid fever is a common infectious disease in developing countries. Although ileal perforation is a known complication, gallbladder perforation remains rare and underreported. Case presentation: We report the case of a 10-year-old boy presenting with generalized peritonitis. The initial surgery revealed an ileal perforation, followed by a second surgery 5 days later for a gallbladder perforation. Pathology confirmed chronic cholecystitis. The patient recovered after appropriate surgical and antibiotic management. Discussion: In all patients with typhoid fever, cholecystitis must be excluded as it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Intraoperatively, the gallbladder should be explored for possible areas of ischemia, necrosis, and impending perforation. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of considering gallbladder perforation as a rare yet serious complication of typhoid fever, particularly in endemic regions.
