Validation of preoperative predictor score for difficult laparascopic cholecystectomy and a modified intraoperative grading score of the difficulty of laparascopic cholecystectomy: from a resource limited setting.
Article in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
backgroundDifficult laparascopic cholecystectomy has greater risk of biliary, vascular and visceral injuries. A tool to predict the difficulty help to prepare a head and avoid complications.
aimthe aim of this study is validation of preoperative predictor score and a modified intraoperative grading score for difficulty of laparascopic cholecystectomy.
methodsThis study was a cross sectional, hospital based study on 200 patients. There are total of 10 scores for preoperative predictor score and 16 scores for the modified intraoperative grading of LC. Structured checklist questionnaire was used.
resultprevalence of difficult LC was 40%. age greater than or equal to 50years, history of admission for acute cholecystitis, BMI > 30, palpable GB, impacted stone on imaging, adhesion burying GB, time to identify cystic artery/duct, bile/stone spillage and type of ligature were statistically significantly factors for difficult laparascopic cholecystectomy.
conclusionThe preoperative scoring is statistically and clinically a good test for predicting the difficult level of laparascopic cholecystectomy (area under ROC = 0.948). The modified intraoperative measure of LC score is a statistically and clinically a good test for classifying the operative outcome of LC (area under ROC = 0.94).
