Post-cholecystectomy syndrome: a retrospective study analysing the associated demographics, aetiology, and healthcare utilization.
Article in Translational gastroenterology and hepatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPost-cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) is a group of heterogeneous signs and symptoms, predominately consisting of right upper quadrant abdominal pain, dyspepsia, and/or jaundice, manifesting after undergoing a cholecystectomy. According to some studies, as many as 40% of post-cholecystectomy patients are in fact, affected by this syndrome. This study aims to determine the demographics, aetiology, average length of hospital stay, and health care burden associated with PCS.
methodsWe queried the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to determine inpatient admissions of PCS between 2011 and 2014 using the ICD-9 primary diagnosis code 576.0.
resultsFrom 2011 to 2014, the number of inpatient admissions with a principal diagnosis of PCS totally 275. The average length of hospital stay was 4.28±4.28, 3.42±2.73, 3.74±1.84, and 3.79±2.78 days in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively. The total yearly charges were $32,079±$24,697, $27,019±$22,633, $34,898.21±$24,408, and $35,204±$32,951 in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively. Notably, the primary cause of PCS in our patient sample between the year 2011 and 2014, was biliary duct dysfunction, followed by Peptic ulcer disease.
conclusionsIn conclusion, there is a strong need to examine for and treat the underlying aetiology when approaching a post-cholecystectomy patient. We found that longer hospital stays, were associated with a greater health care burden, and visa versa. Furthermore, our findings help identify at-risk populations which can contribute to improving surveillance of this costly disease.
