Defining Critical View of Safety During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: The Preoperative Predictors of Failure.

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
Background Defining critical view of safety (CVS) is one of the most crucial steps during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study aimed to determine the preoperative predictors of failure to achieve CVS during LC. Methods All patients undergoing LC from December 2020 to July 2022 were prospectively included. Results There were 180 females and 93 males. CVS was achieved during LC in 238 (87.2%) patients. Conversion to open surgery was performed for 11 patients. Bile leak occurred in three patients which resolved spontaneously. No patient developed bile duct injury. On univariate analysis, age, male sex, American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) grading, Murphy's sign, emergency surgery, neutrophil percentage, lymphocyte percentage, gallbladder wall thickness > 3mm, and impacted gallstone on abdominal ultrasound were predictors of failure to achieve CVS. On multivariate analysis, neutrophil and lymphocyte percentages were independent predictors of failure to achieve CVS. Patients in whom CVS could not be achieved had significantly longer operative time, higher blood loss, complications, and hospital stays. Discussion Inability to achieve CVS during LC can be predicted preoperatively using various parameters including neutrophil and lymphocyte percentages. Such cases must be operated by senior surgeons or referred to experienced general or hepatobiliary surgeons for cholecystectomy to avoid bile duct injury. The proposed algorithm can help in intraoperative decision-making in difficult cases.
