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

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for the treatment of symptomatic gallbladder stones. Minimally invasive operations are currently preferred by surgeons and patients. Intestinal volvulus after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been reported before, but it is still a rare complication of laparoscopic procedures, i.e., including laparoscopic cholecystectomy. To date, few cases were found specifically mentioning cecal volvulus after laparoscopic cholecystectomy; other articles had mentioned other intestinal volvulus after other laparoscopic procedures. We are reporting a case of cecal volvulus that developed in a 43-year-old woman 2 days after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which was treated successfully with exploratory laparotomy with limited right hemicolectomy and ileocolic primary anastomosis. More studies have to be made to determine the incidence and causative relation between laparoscopic surgeries and volvulus, and volvulus should be considered in every patient who complains of postoperative abdominal pain and symptoms of intestinal obstruction.
