Review in Visceral medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundIatrogenic bile duct injuries (IBDI) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), being one of the most common performed surgical procedures, remain a substantial problem in gastrointestinal surgery. The most important aspect regarding this issue is the prevention of IBDI during index cholecystectomy. Once it occurs, early and accurate diagnosis of IBDI is very important for surgeons and gastroenterologists, because unidentified IBDI may result in severe complications such as hepatic failure and death. Laboratory tests, radiological imaging, and endoscopy play an important role in the diagnosis of biliary injuries.

methodsThis review summarizes and discusses the current literature on the management of IBDI after LC from a surgical point of view. RESULTS AND

conclusionIn general, endoscopic techniques are recommended for the initial diagnosis and treatment of IBDI and are important to classify them correctly. In patients with complete dissection or obstruction of the bile duct, surgical management remains the only feasible option. Different surgical reconstructions are performed in patients with IBDI. According to the available literature, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is the most frequent surgical reconstruction and is recommended by most authors. Long-term results are most important in the assessment of effectiveness of IBDI treatment. Apart from that, adequate diagnosis and treatment of IBDI may avoid many serious complications and improve the quality of life of our patients.
