1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Mirizzi syndrome is an infrequent yet intricate biliary pathology defined by extrinsic compression of the common hepatic duct, typically secondary to stone impaction within the cystic duct or Hartmann's pouch. We describe the case of a 69-year-old male who presented in December 2025 with a protracted history of recurrent right upper quadrant abdominal pain, accompanied by a 10-day history of persistent vomiting and fever. Clinical and radiological investigations indicated severe gallbladder inflammation, raising suspicion of Mirizzi syndrome. The patient underwent successful laparoscopic partial cholecystectomy and subsequently experienced an uncomplicated recovery. He continues to be monitored in the outpatient setting. This case emphasizes the clinical viability of partial cholecystectomy as a secure surgical intervention when inflammatory adhesions preclude total gallbladder resection, thereby minimizing the risk of iatrogenic biliary injury.
