The effect of cholecystectomy for symptomatic gall stone disease on hepatic steatosis using transabdominal ultrasonography: An observational prospective study.

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
Objectives: Hepatic steatosis and gallstones are common in the general population, with risk factors being multifactorial. Experimental studies have shown that cholecystectomy increases hepatic steatosis and leads to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In order to evaluate this, the current study was carried out in the department of general surgery at a medical school, in the north of India. Material and Methods: One hundred and three patients awaiting cholecystectomy were selected after written informed consent. Their baseline characteristics were captured preoperatively and thereafter followed at 3 Results: Average age of the patients enrolled was 41.62 ± 13.62 years and mean body mass index (BMI) was 25.96 ± 1.73 kg/m Conclusion: The study concluded that the prevalence of fatty liver increased post-cholecystectomy. Lipid profile parameters improved favorably with a decline in total cholesterol, TG, LDL and VLDL versus increase in HDL. LFT parameters also changed significantly.
