Comparison of preoperative and one-month postoperative serum cholesterol after 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
Objective: Cholecystectomy is a gold-standard procedure for symptomatic gallbladder stones. However, dyslipidemia is reported in about 50% of these patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the change in the levels of total cholesterol following cholecystectomy. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, patients who underwent cholecystectomy for gallstone in (XXX) Nursing Home were included. Preoperative cholesterol levels and those following a month of the surgery were measured in the patients. A form, comprising of the demographic details, along with clinical outcomes was prepared for each patient and the data were analyzed using SPSS v25.0 software. Results: 33 patients were included in this study, of which 29 were females and 4 were males. 48.5% of our patient's population were aged above 50 years. The mean of preoperative cholesterol levels was 203.78 mg/dL. One month after the surgery, the mean cholesterol level was found to be 197.03 mg/dL. Overall, there was no statistical difference between the preoperative and one-month postoperative cholesterol level. Conclusion: Our patients did not present hypercholesterolemia with gallstone disease. Furthermore, one month after the surgical intervention (Cholecystectomy), we did not find any significant changes in the cholesterol levels. Detailed investigation of complete lipid profile with long-term follow up in a larger population is thereby required.
