Preoperative endoscopic treatment for the management of concomitant gallstones and common bile duct stones.
Article in La Tunisie medicale, 2021. 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
backgroundThe combination of gallbladder stone and main biliary stone is seen in 10-25% of cases. Its management with the combination of endoscopic and surgical treatment is increasingly adopted.
aimTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative retrograde endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in the treatment of concomitant gallstones and common bile duct stones.
methodsRetrospective study including patients with concomitant gallstones and common bile duct stones and who had preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The rate of clearance from the main bile duct and the rate of complications were evaluated.
resultsOne hundred and twenty patients aged 57.4±2.7 years were included on average. The rate of catheterization of the main bile duct was 90%. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was unnecessary in 34.1%. Main bile duct clearance was obtained in 95.5% of patients who presented lithiasis during the procedure. The endoscopic treatment was efficient in 53,3% of cases Post endoscopic retrograde post cholangio-pancreatography acute panreatitis occurred in 1.6% of cases with an overall complication rate of 6.6%.
conclusionPreoperative endoscopic treatment of concomitant gallstones and common bile duct stones is effective with good safety.
