Visualization of the Duct of Luschka During a Robotic-Assisted, Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Report of a Rare Event.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
A laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed by general surgeons in the United States. With the increasing amount of robotic surgery being performed, there are clinical scenarios seen from entirely new angles, given the improved visualization that the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, California, United States) offers. One of these potential scenarios is the visualization of subvesical ducts, or better known as the duct of Luschka. In this case, we were able to use the da Vinci to clearly visualize one of these ducts in the process of getting our critical view of safety, and control it without difficulty. This report provides an example to discuss the management of ducts of Luschka and their bile leaks, if noted during the initial operation.
