1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 cholecystectomy is the first line of treatment for patients with symptomatic gallstones. Surgical clips made of stainless steel are still used by surgeons during these laparoscopic procedures and are considered relatively safe. These surgical clips, however, have been linked to severe side effects, including weight loss, dermatitis, angioedema, sleep hyperhidrosis, and more. This report documents the case of a 71-year-old female who presented for the removal of surgical stainless steel clips post-cholecystectomy after 16 years of chronic manifestations, including rashes on the torso and breasts, hives, weight loss, chills, and neuropathy due to a previously undiagnosed nickel allergy.
