Robotic-assisted completion cholecystectomy with repair of cholecystoduodenal fistula.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Post-cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS) is a well-documented complication of incomplete cholecystectomy. The etiology is often post-surgical chronic inflammation from unresolved cholelithiasis, which is secondary to anatomical abnormalities, including a retained gallbladder or a large cystic duct remnant (CDR). An exceedingly rare consequence is retained gallstone fistulization into the gastrointestinal tract. We present a case of a 70-year-old female with multiple comorbidities 4 years status-post incomplete cholecystectomy, who developed PCS with cholecystoduodenal fistula secondary to retained gallstone in the remnant gallbladder, with CDR involvement, treated via robotic-assisted surgery. Reoperation in PCS has been traditionally performed via laparoscopic approach with recent advances made in robotic-assisted surgery. However, we report the first documented case of PCS complicated by bilioenteric fistula repaired with robotic-assisted surgery. This highlights the value of robotic-assisted surgery in complicated cases, where one must contend with post-surgical anatomic abnormalities and visualization difficulties. Subsequent investigation is necessary to objectively quantify the safety and reproducibility of our approach.
