Comparative Study of Levels of Serum Bilirubin, Serum Transaminase, Serum Alkaline Phosphatase, and Prothrombin Time After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Open Cholecystectomy.

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
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is universally accepted as the gold standard treatment for symptomatic gallstones. However, it has some drawbacks. Some of the major drawbacks of LC include increased bile duct injuries and longer operation time. Furthermore, it may cause changes in the body systems, such as alterations in acid-base, pulmonary status, cardiovascular system, and liver function. Thus far, no causes for these changes have been identified. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy on liver enzymes, prothrombin time (PT), and serum bilirubin. In the current study, we found significant increases in aspartate transferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and total bilirubin, on day 1 and day 3 after LC but no significant change in alkaline phosphatase (ALKP) and PT. It is important for surgeons to know about these transient changes in the immediate postoperative period to avoid misdiagnosis and adopt proper treatment and management.
