Laparoscopic Repair of Post-cholecystectomy Bile Duct Injury: an Advance in Surgical Management.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Despite widespread advances in laparoscopic surgery, laparoscopic repair of post-cholecystectomy bile duct injury (BDI) has rarely been reported related mainly to technical difficulty. We describe three cases of BDI treated laparoscopically with one illustrated by a video. With our gained experience in hepatic pedicle dissection during laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy, we decided to perform laparoscopic repair of BDI in patients with an intact biliary confluence without vascular injury. Three patients were operated including two women: one was re-operated by subcostal incision for peritonitis and two had undergone cholecystectomy without conversion. Surgical technique is detailed in the manuscript and the video. Laparoscopic repair was performed between 45 and 300 days after cholecystectomy. Surgery lasted between 250 and 270 min with no conversion and no transfusion. The postoperative course was uneventful with a hospital stay ranging from 7 to 9 days. After a mean follow-up of 9-33 months, patients were symptom free with normal liver function tests. The laparoscopic approach can be safely and effectively proposed to a subgroup of patients with BDI. This approach has the advantages of the laparoscopic approach and represents the main new surgical advancement in the management of this complication.
