Cholecystectomy following percutaneous cholecystostomy tube placement leads to higher rate of CBD injuries.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
introductionPercutaneous cholecystostomy tube (PCT) placement is often the management of severe acute cholecystitis in the unstable patient. PCT can be later reversed and cholecystectomy performed. The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence of subsequent cholecystectomy and clinical factors associated with subsequent procedure.
methodsThe SPARCS, an administrative database, was used to search all patients undergoing PCT placement between 2000 and 2012 in the state of New York. Using a unique identifier, all patients were followed for subsequent cholecystectomy procedures for at least 2 years. Patients were also followed up to 2014 for potential CBD injury during subsequent laparoscopic (LC) or open cholecystectomy (OC). Univariate and multivariable regression analysis were performed when appropriate.
resultsThere were 9738 patients identified who underwent PCT placements. The incidence of patients who had a PCT in 2000-2012, which subsequently underwent cholecystectomy increased from 25.0% in 2000 to 31.7% in 2012. In addition, patients undergoing subsequent LC increased from 11.8% in 2000 to 22.2% in 2012, while the incidence of OC decreased from 13.2% in 2000 to 9.5% in 2012. After accounting for other confounding factors, younger male patients, race as white compared to black, who didn't have any complications during PCT placement were more likely to undergo subsequent cholecystectomy (p < 0.05). Average time to LC was 122.0 days versus 159.6 days for OC (p < 0.0001). From the patients who underwent cholecystectomy following PCT, 47 patients experienced CBD injury (1.6%).
conclusionsIncidence of cholecystectomy following PCT increased during the study period. Surgeons seem to be more comfortable performing LC as rate of LC increased from 11.8 to 22.2%. However, rate of CBD injury is higher during subsequent cholecystectomy compared to that of the general population. Caution should be used when performing subsequent cholecystectomy following PCT, as these procedures may be more technically challenging.
