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

backgroundConsidering the importance of the repairing time in patients with biliary duct injury, the aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patents with bile duct injury following cholecystectomy.

methodsIn this cross sectional study that was conducted on 64 patients with bile duct injury following cholecystectomy was referred to Shafa hospital in Tehran-Iran during 2010-2019 due to repair of biliary duct. Then patients were divided into two groups based on early and late referring time after bile duct injury, the postoperative outcomes were evaluated in two groups.

resultsThe alanine transaminase (ALT) and the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the late group were significantly higher than the early group. There were significant differences between the two groups based on the results of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) (P < 0.05). The frequency of bile duct dilatation, cholangitis and itching in late group were significantly higher than early group, also the frequency of uncomplicated outcome in the early group were significantly more than late group (P < 0.05).

conclusionThe postoperative complication of biliary duct injury reduced, if patients diagnosed and referred at the same early stages (early referral).
