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
Introduction: In emergency surgery for acute obstruction of the common bile duct (CBD), primary duct closure (PC) of the CBD after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) remains challenging. Aim: To explore the safety and effectiveness of this surgical method after LCBDE in patients with acute choledocholithiasis and discuss the feasibility of PC in the CBD. Material and methods: This retrospective study on surgical efficacy and safety involved 232 patients treated at The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2015 and December 2019. These patients underwent LC + LCBDE for acute choledocholithiasis and were categorized into PC and T-tube drainage (TD) groups based on the method of closure of the CBD. The basic preoperative information, intraoperative situation, postoperative situation, and complications were analysed and compared between groups. Results: The baseline characteristics and preoperative information of patients between the 2 groups were balanced. Patients in the PC group had a shorter operation time (p < 0.001) and CBD suturing time (p < 0.001) than those in the TD group. In addition, compared with the TD group in postoperative situations, gastrointestinal recovery (p = 0.002), drainage removal (p < 0.001), and the length of postoperative hospital stay (p = 0.004) were markedly decreased in the PC group. In terms of intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.961), use of pipe washing (49.0 vs. 54.6%, p = 0.397), use of stone basket (50.0 vs. 42.3%, p = 0.243), use of electrohydraulic lithotripsy (1.0 vs. 3.1%, p = 0.525), postoperative liver function, and complications there was no significant difference between the PC and TD groups. No intraoperative transfusion and postoperative mortality occurred in either group. During 6 months of follow-up, only 1 patient showed biliary stricture in the PC group, and 2 and 4 patients in the PC and TD groups, respectively, showed residual stones. Conclusions: PC after LCBDE in acute choledocholithiasis patients displays better therapeutic outcomes than TD in some intraoperative and postoperative situations. PC of the CBD after LCBDE is a safe and effective therapeutic option in acute choledocholithiasis patients.
