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

backgroundThere remain controversies regarding the surgical treatment of extrahepatic bile duct stones (EHBDSs) in clinical practice.

aimTo explore the curative effect of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) plus common bile duct exploration (CBDE) for the surgical treatment of EHBDSs and to analyze the risk factors that affect postoperative stone recurrence.

methodsEighty-two patients with EHBDSs admitted between March 2017 and March 2023 were selected. Among them, patients treated with open choledocholithotomy plus LC or open cholecystectomy (OC) were set as the control group (

resultsThe two groups were comparable in the stone residual rate (

conclusionLC plus CBDE for patients with EHBDSs can reduce stone residuals, intraoperative bleeding, complications, and postoperative recurrence.
