Delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy After Percutaneous Transhepatic Gallbladder Drainage Versus Emergency Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Acute Cholecystitis: A Meta-Analysis.

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 purpose of this meta-analysis is to appraise the efficacy and safety of delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) versus emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) for acute cholecystitis.
methodsThe kinds of literature were searched by Web of Science, PubMed, OVID, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE between the year 2000 and 2019. RevMan 5.3 was used for meta-analysis.
resultsSeventeen studies with 2135 participants were included in our study. Compared with the ELC group, delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage group (PTGBD group) had a significant better effect in intraoperative bleeding (P = .002), conversion rate to open surgery (P = .02), postoperative complications (P < .00001), bile leakage (P = .01), bile duct injury (P = .02), and wound infection (P = .02). There was no significant difference between the two groups in operative time (P= 32), postoperative hospital stay (P = .30), and intraperitoneal hemorrhage (P = .39). PTGBD group had a significantly longer overall hospital stay than the ELC group (P < .00001).
conclusionCompared with the ELC group, the PTGBD group has several advantages, including bile duct injury, intraoperative bleeding, bile leakage, conversion rate to open surgery, postoperative complications, and wound infection. The only drawback in the PTGBD group is to lengthen the total hospital stay.
