Wünderlich syndrome 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
Wünderlich syndrome, or spontaneous non-traumatic renal hemorrhage, is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman presenting with right upper quadrant pain radiating to the lumbar region, bilious vomiting, and positive Murphy's and Giordano's signs, initially suggesting acute biliary disease. Ultrasonography demonstrated cholelithiasis and suspected choledocholithiasis; however, computed tomography urography revealed a large right-sided subcapsular and perirenal hematoma associated with a renal pelvic calculus. Because of the hematoma volume and suspicion of malignancy, nephrectomy was performed. Histopathological examination demonstrated an organized subcapsular hematoma with chronic inflammatory changes and no evidence of neoplasia. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge posed by atypical presentations of Wünderlich syndrome and underscores the essential role of computed tomography in distinguishing spontaneous renal hemorrhage from more common causes of acute abdominal pain.
