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 (LC) is more challenging in the anatomical variation of left-sided gallbladder with the anomaly also highly related to biliary anomalies. Therefore, there has been a reluctance to operate close to the common bile duct (CBD) in left gallbladder patients, and thus choledocholithiasis is usually treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). There is emerging evidence that single stage LC and CBD exploration for choledocholithiasis may be superior to two stage LC and ERCP in terms of short-term and long-term morbidity, cost and length of stay. With the re-emergence of laparoscopic choledochoscopy, the purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach for choledocholithiasis.
