1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

introductionThe study aims to evaluate the use of "critical view of safety" (CVS) for the prevention of bile duct injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute biliary pathology as an alternative to routine intraoperative cholangiography (IOC).

methodsA policy of routine CVS to identify biliary anatomy and selective IOC for patients suspected to have common bile duct (CBD) stone was adopted. Receiver operator curves (ROCs) were used to identify cutoff values predicting CBD stones.

resultsFour hundred forty-seven consecutive, same admission laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed between August 2004 and July 2007 were reviewed. CVS was achieved in 388 (87%) patients. Where CVS was not possible, the operation was completed open. CBD stones were identified in 22/57 patients who underwent selective IOC. Preoperative liver function and CBD diameter were significantly higher in those with CBD stones (P < .001). ROC curve analysis identified preoperative cutoff values of bilirubin (35 mumol/L), alkaline phosphatase (250 IU/L), alanine aminotransferase (240 IU/L), and a CBD diameter of 10 mm, as predictive of CBD stones. No bile duct injuries occurred in this series.

conclusionIn acute biliary pathology, the use of CVS helps clarify the anatomy of Calot's triangle and is a suitable alternative to routine IOC. Selective cholangiography should be employed when preoperative liver function and CBD diameter are above defined thresholds.
