Cholesterolosis mimicking gallbladder adenomyomatosis on imaging in an asymptomatic patient with concurrent cholelithiasis: 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
Background: Gallbladder cholesterolosis and adenomyomatosis (GA) share overlapping cross-sectional imaging features on CT enterography and MRCP, creating a significant diagnostic pitfall. Histopathology remains the only definitive means of distinction. Case presentation: A 44-year-old asymptomatic female was incidentally found to have gallbladder wall thickening and cholelithiasis on CT enterography. MRI/MRCP demonstrated focal fundal wall thickening with intramural high-signal foci, which was interpreted as fundal-type GA with a coexisting gallstone. Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed chronic cholecystitis with focal cholesterolosis - no adenomyomatosis or Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses were identified. Conclusion: Cholesterolosis can produce imaging features indistinguishable from fundal-type GA. Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy provides definitive treatment of concurrent cholelithiasis and the histopathological confirmation needed to resolve diagnostic uncertainty.
