Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients aged 80 years and over.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
introductionThe aging population has led to a significant rise in the number of patients undergoing operations such as cholecystectomy. We have evaluated and compared the results of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in patients aged 80 years and over with those of patients aged between 65 and 79 years.
methodsA total of 471 patients aged 65 to 79 years (group 1) and 45 patients aged>or=80 years (group 2) underwent LC. All patients underwent preoperative spiral computed tomography after intravenous infusion cholangiography and intraoperative cholangiography.
resultsThere was a higher incidence of choledocholithiasis and gallbladder cancer in the patients>or=80 years of age. In addition, group 2 patients had a higher incidence of cardiopulmonary disease and higher American Association of Anesthesiology scores than did those in group 1. With respect to the conversion rate to open surgery, morbidity, mortality, and length of hospital stay, there were no significant differences between the two groups. There was a significantly higher incidence of positive bile cultures and gram-negative rods in group 2 patients than in those in group 1.
conclusionsOctogenarians tolerated LC well. Therefore, early elective LC should be encouraged to minimize morbidity and mortality in these elderly patients who have symptomatic cholelithiasis.
