Successful procedure with additional omentopexy to suture closure of gallbladder stump in laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy.

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
Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy, a bailout surgery for cholecystitis, can result in postoperative bile leakage, so surgical ingenuity is required. An 88-year-old woman had pain at the right hypochondrium. Abdominal computed tomography showed swelling of the gallbladder and thickness of the gallbladder wall, leading to diagnosis of mild acute cholecystitis. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage was performed to alleviate cholecystitis because the patient was taking antiplatelet medicine. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was then performed within 72 hours from the onset. The gallbladder was operatively found to be strongly fibrotic, so the procedure was switched to laparoscopic subtotal cystectomy, dissecting the gallbladder at the infundibulum-cystic duct level. The gallbladder stump was closed with barbed suture and omentopexy was added due to fragility. There was no significant postoperative bile leakage. Additional omentopexy to stump closure in laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy was thought to be useful in prevention of postoperative bile leakage.
