Effects of cholecystectomy on recurrent biliary complications after endoscopic treatment of common bile duct stone: a population-based cohort study.
Observational study in Surgical endoscopy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits of cholecystectomy on mitigating recurrent biliary complications following endoscopic treatment of common bile duct stone.
methodsWe used the data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database to conduct a population-based cohort study. Among 925 patients who received endoscopic treatment for choledocholithiasis at the first admission from 2005 to 2012, 422 received subsequent cholecystectomy and 503 had gallbladder (GB) left in situ. After propensity score matching with 1:1 ratio, the cumulative incidence of recurrent biliary complication and overall survival was analyzed with Cox's proportional hazards model. The primary endpoint of this study is recurrent biliary complications, which require intervention.
resultsAfter matching, 378 pairs of patients were identified with a median follow-up time of 53 (1-108) months. The recurrent rate of biliary complications was 8.20% in the cholecystectomy group and 24.87% in the GB in situ group (p < 0.001). In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, the only independent risk factor for recurrent biliary complications was GB left in situ (hazard ratio [HR] 3.55, 95% CI 2.36-5.33).
conclusionsCholecystectomy after endoscopic treatment of common bile duct stone reduced the prevalence of recurrent biliary complications.
