1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Choledocholithiasis is reported in up to 20% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy. It is recommended to remove common bile duct gallstones due to the risk of complications. A common approach to the management of choledocholithiasis is to combine laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which is typically completed during two separate sessions. The use of intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC) to facilitate combined LC and intraoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (iERCP) may reduce overall operative time and hospital length of stay. We report two patients who underwent LC and iERCP under the same anesthetic administration for the treatment of choledocholithiasis. A large data set on the role of IOC in completing both LC and iERCP under a single anesthetic administration was analyzed. These two patients illustrate the utility of IOC in facilitating single-session LC/iERCP for the treatment of choledocholithiasis and our retrospective analysis highlights the effectiveness of IOC.
