Gallbladder cancer presenting with a single giant common bile duct stone in a patient with normal cholestatic function tests: a case report.
Article in Oxford medical 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
We present the case of a 65-year-old Ethiopian female with a 10.5 × 4 cm, 150 g giant CBD stone and normal cholestatic function tests. Ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT scan suggested gallbladder cancer and a CBD stone with dilated intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary trees. The patient was successfully managed with extended cholecystectomy, common bile duct exploration, stone extraction, and choledochoduodenostomy. Histopathology revealed adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder with negative margins. No tumor recurrence was noted on subsequent follow-up of 2 years. Giant CBD stones are rare, especially in Africa. Most patients present with abnormal cholestatic function tests and jaundice; however, presentation with normal cholestatic parameters is uncommon. The coexistence of gallbladder cancer and a giant CBD stone represents longstanding gallstone disease and chronic inflammatory changes that contribute to the development of gallbladder cancer.
