Risk factors and outcomes for cholangitis after hepatic resection.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThere is a paucity in the literature in regard to the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes for post-operative cholangitis following hepatic resection.
methodsRetrospective review of the ACS NSQIP main and targeted hepatectomy registries for 2012-2016.
resultsA total of 11,243 cases met the selection criteria. The incidence of post-operative cholangitis was 0.64% (151 cases). Multivariate analysis identified several risk factors associated with the development of post-operative cholangitis, stratified out by pre-operative and operative factors. The most significant risk factors were biliary anastomosis and pre-operative biliary stenting with odds ratios (OR) of 32.39 (95% CI 22.91-45.79, P value < 0.0001) and 18.32 (95% CI 10.51-31.94, P value < 0.0001) respectively. Cholangitis was significantly associated with post-operative bile leaks, liver failure, renal failure, organ space infections, sepsis/septic shock, need for reoperation, longer length of stay, increased readmission rates, and death.
conclusionLargest analysis of post-operative cholangitis following hepatic resection. While a rare occurrence, it is associated with significantly increased risk for severe morbidity and mortality. The most significant risk factors were biliary anastomosis and stenting.
