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

Cholelithiasis occurs when a stone forms in the gallbladder; when symptoms develop, the condition is termed symptomatic cholelithiasis. The correlation between bariatric surgery and post-operative symptomatic cholelithiasis has long been established. Presented is a case of a 56-year-old female status post-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass who developed symptomatic cholelithiasis and subsequently underwent cholecystectomy with the removal of an 8-centimeter (cm) gallbladder stone. This case report explores the benefits and limitations of watchful waiting versus prophylactic concomitant cholecystectomy among bariatric surgery patients, noting the difference between the bariatric sleeve and bypass anatomy for managing biliary complications.
