Feasibility of cholecystectomy in patients with silent common bile duct stones cohort prospective single arm multicentre study.
Observational study in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06349876 (Cholecystectomy in Patients With Silent Common Bile Duct Stones), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThe management of patients with concomitant gallbladder stones with silent CBDS still involves a wide range of debates, and there is little evidence regarding the recommendation of CBD clearance either before cholecystectomy or in the same session. In this study, we aimed to discuss the feasibility of performing LC with a wait-and-see strategy for patients with silent CBS.
methodPatients with silent CBDS identified during preoperative examinations for gallbladder stones were studied for the feasibility of performing LC with a wait-and-see strategy for silent CBS.
resultsSixty patients who presented with gallbladder stones with silent CBDS underwent LC between February 2023 and July 2023. Seventeen patients (28.3%) underwent laparoscopic acute cholecystectomy, and 43 (71.7%) patients underwent laparoscopic elective cholecystectomy; all of these procedures were completed laparoscopically. Two patients (3.3%) developed symptomatic CBDS, both of whom were treated medically without intervention. Sixteen patients (26.7%) experienced spontaneous CBDS during the follow-up period.
conclusionPatients who present with symptomatic gall bladder stones either acutely or electively with asymptomatic CBDS can undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy without suffering from CBDS with acceptable short-term outcomes.
