Unplanned hospital readmission after cholecystectomy in adults with cerebral palsy.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 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
backgroundAdults with cerebral palsy (CP) are a largely understudied, growing population with unique health care requirements. We sought to establish a deeper understanding of the surgical risk in adults with CP undergoing a common general surgical procedure: cholecystectomy.
methodsData were obtained from the State Inpatient Database developed for the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. Inclusion criteria included patients ≥ 18 years with CP and a primary ICD-9 procedure code indicating open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Demographics, procedure-related factors, and comorbid conditions were analyzed, and unplanned 30 and 90 day readmission rates calculated for each variable. Reasons for readmission based on ICD-9 diagnosis codes were grouped into relevant categories. Univariate analysis identified factors significantly associated with readmission rates.
resultsA total of 802 patients with CP met the inclusion criteria. Unplanned 30 and 90 day readmission rates after laparoscopic cholecystectomy were 11.4% and 18.1%, respectively. Average length of stay (LOS) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy was 7.1 days. After open cholecystectomy, 30 and 90 day readmission rates were 16.9% and 30.3% with an average LOS of 14.6 days. Infection was the most common cause for 30 and 90 day readmission. Factors associated with 30 day readmission included type of cholecystectomy, LOS, discharge to skilled nursing facility, and comorbid diabetes and malnutrition. Factors associated with 90 day readmission included type of cholecystectomy, LOS, discharge to skilled nursing facility, and comorbid heart failure, renal disease, epilepsy, and malnutrition.
conclusionUnplanned readmission rates after open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy in adult patients with CP are much higher than previously demonstrated rates in the general population. These patients frequently suffer multiple comorbid conditions that significantly complicate their surgical care. As more and more of these patients live longer into adulthood, further study is warranted to grasp the perioperative risk of simple and complex surgical procedures.
