Laparoendoscopic rendezvous versus ERCP followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy for the management of cholecysto-choledocholithiasis: a retrospectively cohort study.

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
backgroundThere are a variety of strategies for the treatment of patients with cholecysto-choledocholithiasis (CCL). Although the surgical approach of choice is preoperative ERCP and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ERCP + LC), controversy remains regarding which procedure is optimal for CCL.
methodsTo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of laparoendoscopic rendezvous (LERV) versus ERCP + LC for CCL, a total of 528 patients with CCL were retrospectively studied from January 2013 to December 2018. The patients were scheduled to undergo either the LERV or ERCP + LC procedure. The LERV group included 123 cases, whereas the ERCP + LC group contained 137 cases. The incidence of postoperative complications, success of stone clearance, length of hospital stay, and hospitalization charges were statistically analyzed.
resultsThe incidence of pancreatitis was lower in the LERV group than in the ERCP + LC group (3/123 vs. 12/137, P = 0.0291). The median level of post-ERCP amylase was much lower in the LERV group (202.5 U/dL vs. 328.1 U/dL, P < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference in the stone clearance rate or other early complications between the two groups. Further study showed that the length of hospital stay and cost in the LERV group were less than those in the ERCP + LC group (12 days vs. 18 days, P < 0.01; 53591.4¥ vs. 60089.2¥, P < 0.01). In addition, more patients in the two-stage procedure group experienced later biliary complications compared with those in the one-stage approach group (34/137 vs. 4/123, P < 0.05). However, the median operation time was 107.7 min in the two-stage group and 139.8 min in the one-stage group (P < 0.05).
conclusionsThe LERV technique is a safe and effective approach for CCL with lower pancreatitis; it was associated with few later biliary complications, shortened hospital stays, and fewer charges but significantly longer operative time.
