Percutaneous cholecystostomy tube placement as a bridge to cholecystectomy for grade III acute cholecystitis: A national analysis.
Article in Surgery open science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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: Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PCT) is an alternative to cholecystectomy (CCY) in high-risk surgical candidates with severe acute cholecystitis. A subset of these patients ultimately undergo delayed CCY. We therefore compared outcomes of delayed CCY in patients with grade III acute cholecystitis who received a PCT on index admission, to those who did not. Methods: Non-elective adult hospitalizations for grade III acute cholecystitis that underwent delayed CCY were identified in the 2016-2020 Nationwide Readmission Database. Patients who received a PCT during their index admission comprised the Results: Of an estimated 13,782 patients, 13.3 % comprised Conclusion: In the present study,
