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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundFluorescence cholangiography represents an incisionless technique that can be applied during laparoscopic cholecystectomy to visualize bile ducts. Our objective was to evaluate and detect variances of fluorescence imaging in obese and non-obese patients.

methodsProspective patients were selected for laparoscopic cholecystectomies. Subjects were divided into groups based on their body mass index. Fluorescence imaging was applied preceding any dissection of extrahepatic ducts and again after dissection. Positive and negative identifications of biliary ducts were recorded.

resultsSeventy-one patients participated, with 53.5 % classified as obese. The cystic, hepatic, common bile duct, and accessory ducts were identified as follows: 100, 70.4, 87.3, and 7.0 % of patients, respectively. No differences in hepatic duct, common bile duct, and accessory duct visualization were detected in the obese and non-obese groups (p value 0.09, 0.16, and 0.66, respectively).

conclusionsFluorescent cholangiography is a useful technique in the obese and non-obese population. Obesity does not affect fluorescence visualization of bile ducts.
