Acute Gangrenous Cholecystitis During Pregnancy: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in surgery, 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
Acute cholecystitis is one of the most common nonobstetric surgical emergencies during pregnancy. Progression to gangrenous cholecystitis is rare but is associated with significant maternal and fetal morbidity. We report the case of a 26-year-old primigravida at 25 weeks' gestation who presented with severe right upper quadrant pain, fever, and vomiting. Laboratory evaluation revealed elevated serum inflammatory markers. Transabdominal ultrasonography demonstrated gallbladder wall thickening, pericholecystic fluid, and biliary sludge. Despite 24 h of conservative management, her clinical condition deteriorated. Following multidisciplinary consultation, urgent open retrograde cholecystectomy was performed, revealing a gangrenous gallbladder. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and she subsequently delivered a healthy term infant. Early recognition and timely surgical intervention are essential in the management of complicated biliary disease during pregnancy. This case highlights the importance of multidisciplinary care and supports current recommendations for operative management of severe or complicated acute cholecystitis during pregnancy.
