Critical Appraisal of the Impact of the Systematic Adoption of Advanced Minimally Invasive Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery on the Surgical Management of Mirizzi Syndrome.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMinimally invasive surgery (MIS) for Mirizzi syndrome (MS) remains a technically challenging procedure with a high open conversion rate. We critically evaluated the impact of the systematic adoption of MI-HBP surgery on the surgical outcomes of MS.
methodsNinety-five patients who underwent surgery for MS were retrospectively reviewed. Systematic adoption of advanced MI-HBP surgery started in 2012. The cohort was classified into a preadoption (2002-2012) (Era 1, n = 58) and post-adoption (2013-2017) (Era 2, n = 37). Furthermore, Era 2 was divided into a cohort operated by advanced minimally invasive surgeons (AMIS) (Era 2 AMIS, n = 19) and those by other surgeons (Era 2 others, n = 19).
resultsComparison between Era 2 and Era 1 demonstrated a significant increase in the frequency of MIS attempted (89% vs 33%, p < 0.01), increase in the use of choledochoplasty (24% vs 2%, p < 0.01), increase operation time (180 min vs 150 min, p = 0.03) and significantly lower open conversion rate (24% vs 58%, p < 0.01). Comparison between Era 2 AMIS and Era 2 others demonstrated a significantly greater adoption of MIS (100% vs 78%, p = 0.046) with lower open conversion rate (5% vs 50%, p = 0.005). Comparison between all attempted MIS cases with open procedures demonstrated a significantly higher proportion of subtotal cholecystectomies performed (40% vs 23%, p = 0.04), choledochoplasty (17% vs 2%, p = 0.04) and shorter hospital stay (4 days vs 9 days, p < 0.01).
conclusionsSystematic adoption of advanced MI-HBP surgery allowed surgeons to perform MIS for MS more frequently and with a significantly lower open conversion rate. Patients who underwent successful MIS had the shortest hospital stay compared to patients who underwent open surgery or required open conversion.
