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

Objective: Limitations are sometimes encountered in the application of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to the treatment of acute cholecystitis. Endoscopic gallbladder stenting (EGBS) has emerged as an additional option. However, the long-term stent patency remains an issue. This study was performed to compare the efficacy of primary and secondary EGBS. Methods: Sixty-one patients who underwent preplanned EGBS because of poor surgical tolerance from January 2006 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the initial EGBS group, in which EGBS was performed as the first option ( Results: After propensity score matching, six patients from each group were selected for analysis. The technical success rate was significantly higher in the secondary EGBS group (73.0% [27/37] vs. 95.8% [23/24], respectively). Furthermore, the 3-month recurrence rate was significantly higher in the initial than secondary EGBS group (66.7% [4/6] vs. 0.0% [0/6], respectively; Conclusion: Secondary EGBS may effectively prevent recurrent cholecystitis in patients with poor surgical tolerance.
