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

> Background: Various surgical methods are available for cholecystolithiasis plus choledocholithiasis. The objective of this study is to explore the association between laparoscopic methods and clinical outcomes of cholecystolithiasis plus choledocholithiasis.

methodsThis cohort study retrospectively included patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for cholecystolithiasis plus choledocholithiasis at our hospital (January 2017 to March 2021). The primary outcome was bile leakage.

resultsTotally 127 patients were enrolled. The time to get out of bed and the indwelling duration of the abdominal drainage tube in the patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy+lithotomy of common bile duct+common bile duct primary suture+endoscopic nasobiliary drainage were higher than the endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography+laparoscopic cholecystectomy group, without differences in the laparoscopic common bile duct exploration group (all P < .05). All indexes decreased in the 3 groups after surgery (all P < .01). On the first day after surgery, only white blood cells (P < .001) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (P = .045) showed significant differences among the different surgical methods. The incidence of biliary leakage (P = .001) was higher in laparoscopic cholecystectomy+lithotomy of common bile duct+common bile duct primary suture+endoscopic nasobiliary drainage, while the occurrence of hyperamylasemia was higher with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography+laparoscopic cholecystectomy (P = .001). Compared with laparoscopic cholecystectomy+lithotomy of common bile duct+common bile duct primary suture+endoscopic nasobiliary drainage, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration was associated with fewer bile leakage (RR = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.003-0.37).

conclusionCompared with laparoscopic cholecystectomy+lithotomy of common bile duct+common bile duct primary suture+endoscopic nasobiliary drainage, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration was associated with bile leakage.
