Clinical course of percutaneous cholecystostomies: A cross-sectional study.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundAlthough cholecystectomy is the standard treatment modality, it has been shown that perioperative mortality is approaching 19% in critical and elderly patients. Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) can be considered as a safer option with a significantly lower complication rate in these patients.
aimTo assess the clinical course of acute cholecystitis (AC) in patients we treated with PC.
methodsThe study included 82 patients with Grade I, II or III AC according to the Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG18) and treated with PC. The patients' demographic and clinical features, laboratory parameters, and radiological findings were retrospectively obtained from their medical records.
resultsEighty-two patients, 45 (54.9%) were male, and the median age was 76 (35-98) years. According to TG18, 25 patients (30.5%) had Grade I, 34 (41.5%) Grade II, and 23 (28%) Grade III AC. The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status score was III or more in 78 patients (95.1%). The patients, who had been treated with PC, were divided into two groups: discharged patients and those who died in hospital. The groups statistically significantly differed only concerning the ASA score (
conclusionFor high clinical success in AC treatment, PC is recommended for high-risk patients with moderate-severe AC according to TG18, elderly patients, and especially those with ASA scores of ≥ III. According to our results, PC, a safe, effective and minimally invasive treatment, should be preferred in cases suffering from AC with high risk of mortality associated with cholecystectomy.
