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

backgroundThere are only a few reports regarding the quality of life of patients who underwent a complicated cholecystectomy with an iatrogenic bile duct injury (IBDI); the results have been heterogeneous and realized with unspecific measures.

methodsThe objective was to determine whether the quality of life of the subjects with a history of IBDI repaired with bilioenteric derivation is modified in the long term with respect to a control group, for which a group of patients with a history of IBDI (group A) was compared with a group of patients with a history of uncomplicated cholecystectomy (group B). Two different measures were used: on the one hand, the SF-12 questionnaire and on the other hand, a questionnaire was implemented where the patient could determine by himself which variables define his quality of life.

resultsA total of 46 patients were included in group A and 51 in group B. The analysis of the SF-12 questionnaire showed a statistical significant reduction in 4 of 8 of the evaluated parameters (general health, physical functioning, physical role and social functioning) in group A in comparison with group B. If a more specific questionnaire is used, the results are similar, with a statistically significant reduction in the quality of life within the group A (0.03).

conclusionsWe conclude that the quality of life of patients with a history of bilioenteric derivation due to an IBDI decreases significantly compared to patients with uncomplicated cholecystectomy.
