Laparoscopic treatment of stone recurrence in a gallbladder remnant: report of an additional case and literature review.
Review in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
Cholecystectomy is an effective treatment of gallstones. Nevertheless, recurrence of biliary symptoms following cholecystectomy, either laparotomic or laparoscopic, is quite common. Causes are either biliary or extrabiliary. Symptoms of biliary origin chiefly depend on bile duct residual stones or strictures. Rarely, they depend on stone recurrence in a gallbladder remnant. Diagnosis of gallstone recurrence in gallbladder remnant is difficult, mainly arising from ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.Incomplete gallbladder removal may be either voluntary or inadvertent: in the first case, it is performed to remove gallstones without dissecting a difficult Calot's triangle or an excessively bleeding posterior wall of gallbladder caused by liver cirrhosis. Available data do not support the hypothesis that laparoscopic cholecystectomy entails an increased incidence of this condition, in spite of some opposite opinions. Treatment of lithiasis in gallbladder remnants is chiefly surgical. Although technically demanding, completion cholecystectomy can be safely performed in a laparoscopic way. We report a case of stone relapse in a gallbladder remnant, discovered 16 years following laparoscopic cholecystectomy and successfully treated by laparoscopic completion cholecystectomy. We furthermore review literature data in order to ascertain whether recent large diffusion of laparoscopic surgery causes an increase of such cases.
