Preoperative systemic and local inflammation are independent risk factors for difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage.

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
Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is required for acute cholecystitis patient with percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD). However, it's unknown how to distinguishing the surgical difficulty for these patients. Methods: Data of patients who underwent LC after PTGBD between 2016 and 2022 were collected. Patients were categorized into difficult and non-difficult operations based on operative time, blood loss, and surgical conversion. Performance of prediction model was evaluated by ROC, calibration, and decision curves. Results: A total of 127 patients were analyzed, including 91 in non-difficult operation group and 36 in difficult operation group. Elevated CRP ( Conclusion: Preoperative elevated systemic and local inflammation indictors are predictors for difficult LC after PTGBD.
