Outcome of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients 80 years and older.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Advanced age is associated with an increase in postoperative complications. This study assesses the indications and outcome for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in patients aged 80 years or older. Consecutive, unselected patients aged 80 years or over undergoing LC between 1991 and 2000 were included. A retrospective case review enabled analysis of clinical and operative factors together with in-hospital morbidity, 30-day mortality, and duration of hospital stay. A series of 117 patients, 79 women and 38 men with a median age of 83 years (range 80-93 years), underwent LC. Indications for LC were chronic cholecystitis in 62 (53%) patients, acute cholecystitis in 28 (24%), gallstone pancreatitis in 12 (10%), and other conditions in 15 (13%). Six (5%) patients required conversion to an open procedure. Overall, 26 (22%) patients developed a postoperative complication. There were no bile leaks or bile duct injuries. One patient, with gangrenous cholecystitis, died after LC. The median postoperative hospital stay was 3 days (range 1-31 days). LC can be performed safely with low morbidity in patients over age 80 years.
