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

backgroundBile duct injury (BDI) during (laparoscopic) cholecystectomy has an incidence of up to 1.5%. This retrospective study aimed to report the outcomes of surgical repair of BDI due to these procedures at a tertiary referral center.

methodsA retrospective review of patients' records was conducted. The BDI's clinical presentations, Strasberg classification, surgical repairs, and outcomes were reported.

resultsFrom 2003 to 2024, 47 BDIs were identified. In total, 34.0% were recognized intraoperatively. The BDI types included Strasberg types B (2, 4.3%), C (5, 10.6%), D (11, 23.4%), E1 (4, 8.5%), E2 (12, 25.5%), E3 (5, 10.6%), E4 (3, 6.4%), and E5 (5, 10.6%). The T-tube group included 6 (12.8%) patients, the primary repair and T-tube group included 10 (21.3%) patients, and the Biliodigestive anastomosis group included 31 (65.9%) patients. The overall morbidity rate was 40.4%, the major morbidity rate was 21.3%, and the mortality rate was 4.3%. Grade A patency was achieved in 95.6% of patients. In the Biliodigestive anastomosis group, the actuarial 1-, 5- and 10-year grade A patency rates were 77.0%, 70.0%, and 70.0%, respectively.

conclusionThe rate of BDI remains stable. The outcomes of repairs in terms of complications and patency rates are comparable to those in other reports.
