The Impact of Intra-abdominal Pressure on Perioperative Outcomes in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
Article 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
introductionIntra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is a critical factor in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, potentially affecting various perioperative outcomes. Understanding the impact of different IAP levels can guide clinical practice to optimize patient safety and recovery.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of low, moderate, and high IAPs on perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODOLOGY: A total of 150 patients were categorized into three groups based on IAP: Low Pressure (8-10 mmHg, n=50), Moderate Pressure (10-15 mmHg, n=70), and High Pressure (>15 mmHg, n=30). Primary outcomes measured included operative time, intraoperative complications, postoperative pain scores at six hours, length of hospital stay, and return to normal activity. Secondary outcomes included postoperative complications and analgesic consumption.
resultsOperative time increased significantly with higher IAP, averaging 80.4 ± 12.7 minutes in the Low Pressure group, 85.6 ± 15.3 minutes in the Moderate Pressure group, and 90.1 ± 14.2 minutes in the High Pressure group (p=0.03). Intraoperative complications occurred in 10%, 15%, and 23% of patients in the Low, Moderate, and High Pressure groups, respectively (p=0.12). Postoperative pain scores, length of hospital stay, and recovery time showed no significant differences between groups.
conclusionHigher IAP is associated with longer operative times but does not significantly affect other perioperative outcomes, suggesting that careful consideration of IAP levels is important in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
