Puncture and discission with a needle: A new method for laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.
Observational study in Medicine, 2020. 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
This study aimed to describe a novel puncture and discission with a needle (PDN) method facilitating laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE).The clinical data of 81 patients with cholelithiasis or choledocholithiasis who underwent LCBDE with PDN between January, 2017 and December, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Time for puncture and discission of the bile duct, blood loss, postoperative complications (such as bile leakage, common bile duct [CBD] strictures, and recurrence of choledocholithiasis), and postoperative hospital stay were recorded to evaluate the safety of the method.PDN was performed in all 81 patients with a 100% surgical success rate. Surgery went smoothly. Neither mortality nor complications associated with PDN (portal vein injury or biliary leakage) were observed. The mean time for puncture and discission of the CBD was 2.4 minutes and the maximum blood loss was 100 mL. CBD strictures or recurrence of choledocholithiasis were not noted after 12 to 24 months of follow-up.LCBDE with PDN is a novel method and has the advantages of reliability, convenience, and efficiency without additional costs or complications.
