Bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy: An Indian e-survey.
Article in Annals of hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
BACKGROUNDS/
aimsIn the absence of national registry of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) or its complications, it is impossible to determine incidence of bile duct injury (BDI) in India. We conducted an e-survey among practicing surgeons to determine prevalence and management patterns of BDI in India. Our hypothesis was that majority of surgeons would have experienced a BDI during LC despite large experience and that most surgeons who have a BDI tend to manage it themselves.
methodsAn 18-question e-survey of practicing laparoscopic surgeons in India was done.
results278/727 (38%) surgeons responded. 240/278 (86%) respondents admitted to a BDI during LC and 179/230 (78%) affirmed to more than one BDI. A total of 728 BDIs were reported. 36/230 (15%) respondents experienced their first BDI even after ＞10 years of practice and 40% had their first BDI even after having performed ＞100 LCs. 161/201 (80%) of the respondents decided to manage the BDI themselves, including 56/99 (57%) non-biliary surgeons and 44/82 (54%) surgeons working in non-biliary center. 37/201 (18%) respondents admitted to having a mortality arising out of a BDI; the mortality rate of BDI was 37/728 (5%) in this survey. Only 13/201 (6%) respondents have experienced a medico-legal case related to a BDI during LC.
conclusionsPrevalence of BDI is high in India and occurs despite adequate experience and volume. Even inexperienced non-biliary surgeons working in non-biliary centers attempt to repair the BDI themselves. BDI is associated with significant mortality but litigation rates are fortunately low in India.
