A gallbladder with the "hidden cystic duct": A brief overview of various surgical techniques of the Calot's triangle dissection.
Article in Interventional medicine & applied science, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03024892 (Intra-gallbladder or Systemic Indocyanide Green Injection Facilitate Cholecystectomy in Acute Cholecystitis , Gallstone and Gallbladder Polyp Patients.), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
We present a case of a middle-aged female who attended for a routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a day case surgery. At operation, she was found to have a distended gallbladder with an unusually prominent distal portion. This has made the dissection of the Calot's triangle challenging. As a result, the "critical view of safety" technique was applied. This allowed for the clear Calot's triangle visualization and identification of the cystic duct and artery. This case highlights that the knowledge of various ways of the cystic duct dissection is essential to every surgeon. Furthermore, this helps to adjust the dissection approach on an individual case bases ensuring avoidance of the common bile duct injuries.
