Cholecystitis with gallbladder rupture leading to free gallstone migration causing chronic abdominal wall sinus formation: A case report.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. 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
backgroundGallstones are frequently observed in patients with cholecystitis, but the migration of free gallstones into the abdominal wall leading to chronic sinus formation is exceedingly rare. CASE SUMMARY: We report a case of a 72-year-old woman who experienced recurring fever and abdominal pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis, during which gallbladder rupture was noted. Despite initial conservative management and temporary T-tube placement, the patient developed a chronic sinus in the abdominal wall 9.5 years later, characterized by an area of thickened soft tissue with ulceration and purulent discharge. Surgical exploration revealed the presence of a migrated gallstone at the base of the sinus tract, necessitating careful surgical removal and postoperative wound care.
conclusionThis case highlights the potential long-term complications of retained free gallstones and the importance of thorough surgical retrieval.
