Comparison of intraoperative versus preoperative ERCP with laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystocholedocholithiasis: a 3-year study at Kepler University Hospital.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundPreoperative ERCP followed by cholecystectomy is a common treatment for cholecystocholedocholithiasis. However, intraoperative ERCP has been used more frequently over the last two decades, with few studies assessing various aspects of both methods. We evaluated and compared the management and outcomes of intraoperative ERCP and preoperative ERCP.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study of a prospective registry. A total of 169 patients with cholecystocholedocholithiasis underwent either intraoperative ERCP or preoperative ERCP followed by cholecystectomy. Between January 2020 and June 2023 patients were further analysed for morbidity, surgical technique, ERCP and surgical indications, length of stay and success rate of ERCP.
results103 patients (60.9%) underwent intraoperative ERCP and 66 patients (39.1%) an ERCP later followed by cholecystectomy. Patients with intraoperative ERCP tended to have a lower rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis (3.9% vs. 6.1%; P = 0.537), fewer ERCP complications (3.9% vs. 10.6%; P = 0.116), a reduced hospital stay (8 vs. 13.8 days; P < 0.001) and a lower cannulation failure rate of the common bile duct during ERCP (1.9% vs. 6.1%; P = 0.088).
conclusionsOur study identified several advantages of intraoperative simultaneous ERCP over upfront ERCP, suggesting that intraoperative ERCP may be a viable and safe option for the comprehensive management of cholecystocholedocholithiasis.
