Factors related to residual gallbladder calculi formation using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging combined with clinical data.

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
objectiveWe aimed to investigate risk factors related to remnant gallbladder (RGB) stones.
methodsThis retrospective study included 73 patients with RGB, in groups with and without RGB calculi. Univariate analyses were used to identify nine variables associated with RGB calculi: sex, age, body mass index (BMI), time to detection, surgical method, length of RGB, angle of RGB and common hepatic duct (CHD), choledocholithiasis, and remnant cholecystitis. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to assess independent predictors of RGB stones. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to estimate model accuracy and determine cut-off values of independent predictors.
resultsWe enrolled 73 patients, 33 with and 40 without RGB stones. Univariate analyses showed that age, BMI, time to detection, length of RGB, angle of RGB and CHD were predictors for RGB calculi. Multivariate analyses indicated that time to detection, length of RGB, and angle of RGB and CHD were independent predictors for RGB calculi. The area under the ROC curve of the model was 0.940. Cut-off values of the three indicators were 1.5 years, 2.25 cm, and 22.5°, respectively.
conclusionTime to detection, length of RGB, and angle of RGB and CHD were independent predictors of RGB calculi.
