Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage for acute cholecystitis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07161960 (Early Versus Delayed Cholecystectomy After Percutaneous Drainage in Moderate and Severe Cholecystitis), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
There is no consensus on the optimal timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) for patients with acute cholecystitis (AC). We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent LC after PTGBD between 1 February 2016 and 1 February 2020. We divided patients into three groups according to the interval time between PTGBD and LC as follows: Group I (within 1 week), (Group II, 1 week to 1 month), and Group III (> 1 month) and analyzed patients' perioperative outcomes. We enrolled 100 patients in this study (Group I, n = 22; Group II, n = 30; Group III, n = 48). We found no significant difference between the groups regarding patients' baseline characteristics and no significant difference regarding operation time and estimated blood loss (p = 0.69, p = 0.26, respectively). The incidence of conversion to open cholecystectomy was similar in the three groups (p = 0.37), and we found no significant difference regarding postoperative complications (p = 0.987). Group I had shorter total hospital stays and medical costs (p = 0.005, p < 0.001, respectively) vs Group II and Group III. Early LC within 1 week after PTGBD is safe and effective, with comparable intraoperative outcomes, postoperative complications, and conversion rates to open cholecystectomy. Furthermore, early LC could decrease postoperative length of hospital stay and medical costs.
