Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for biliary dyskinesia: correlation of preoperative cholecystokinin cholescintigraphy results with postoperative outcome.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundA gallbladder ejection fraction (EF) on cholescintigraphy of less than 35% after cholecystokinin (CCK) has been considered to be pathophysiologic and an indication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
methodsAll patients undergoing LC for biliary dyskinesia between 1994 and 2001 were prospectively entered into a database. These patients were retrospectively evaluated with regard to demographics, the number of preoperative studies obtained, postoperative symptoms, and the number of postoperative studies obtained.
resultsSixty patients underwent LC for biliary dyskinesia. The mean gallbladder EF was 14%, and 75% of patients were asymptomatic postoperatively. Persistent symptoms prompted further investigation in 6% of patients with a gallbladder EF <14% and in 35% of patients with an EF between 14 and 35% (p = 0.05).
conclusionLaparoscopic cholecystectomy alleviated symptoms in 94% of patients with a gallbladder EF <14% after CCK injection. The diagnostic significance of a preoperative CCK cholescintigram (EF 14-35%) needs further investigation.
