Feasibility and Safety of Concomitant Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy With Open-Heart Surgery: A Systematic Review and Our Early Clinical Experience.
Review in Cureus, 2024. 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
Significant valvular or coronary artery disease may co-exist in patients presenting with symptomatic cholelithiasis. Isolated laparoscopic cholecystectomy in these cases is often associated with cardiac complications. Addressing the cardiac condition first may result in flaring up of cholecystitis during postoperative recovery and is associated with adverse outcomes. Open-heart surgery followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy during a single operative setting is an option in these situations. The aim of our study is to review the published articles for this strategy and to share our initial experience with two such patients. PubMed, OVID Medline, and Cochrane library database were used, and we searched these databases using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and keywords from the inception date until August 1, 2023, and did not restrict our search to any language, study type, sample size, or publication date. All the publications reporting concomitant laparoscopic cholecystectomy and open-heart surgery were identified and a systematic review was carried out. Our first case underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The second patient underwent a double valve replacement and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Both the patients made an uneventful recovery, and are alive and doing well. Concomitant open-heart surgery and laparoscopic cholecystectomy in certain situations may be necessary and can be performed safely.
