Prophylactic cholecystectomy: A valuable treatment strategy for cholecystolithiasis after gastric cancer surgery.

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
The main treatment for gastric cancer is surgical excision. Gallstones are one of the common postoperative complications of gastric cancer. To avoid the adverse effects of gallstone formation after gastric cancer surgery, we reviewed the causes and risk factors and mechanisms involved in gallstone formation after gastric cancer surgery. The evidence and value regarding prophylactic cholecystectomy (PC) during gastric cancer surgery was also reviewed. Based on previous evidence, we summarized the mechanism and believe that injury or resection of the vagus nerve or changes in intestinal hormone secretion can lead to physiological dysfunction of the gallbladder and Oddi sphincter, and the lithogenic components in the bile are also changed, ultimately leading to CL. Previous studies also have identified many independent risk factors for CL after gastric cancer, such as type of gastrectomy, reconstruction of the digestive tract, degree of lymph node dissection, weight, liver function, sex, age, diabetes and gallbladder volume are closely related to CL development. At present, there are no uniform guidelines for the selection of treatment strategies. As a new treatment strategy, PC has undeniable advantages and is expected to become the standard treatment for CL after gastric cancer in the future. The individualized PC strategy for CL after gastric cancer is the main direction of future research.
