Comparative clinical outcomes of transcystic vs. transductal laparoscopic common bile duct exploration: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThis study aims to compare the therapeutic outcomes of transcystic laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (TC-LCBDE) and transductive laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (TD-LCBDE) for the treatment of common bile duct stones accompanied by gallstones.
methodsA cohort of 102 patients with common bile duct stones accompanied by gallstones, admitted between April 2016 and February 2025, were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the surgical approach, the patients were divided into Group A (TC-Group, n = 51) and Group B (TD-Group, n = 51). Group A underwent TC-LCBDE, while Group B underwent TD-LCBDE. Key parameters were statistically analyzed, including operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative length of stay, average hospitalization cost, postoperative drainage tube indwelling time, and the incidence of postoperative complications.
resultsGroup A had a shorter postoperative length of stay compared to Group B (P < 0.05). The total hospitalization cost in Group A was also lower than that in Group B (P < 0.05). Additionally, the postoperative drainage tube indwelling time was shorter in Group A, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05).
conclusionTC-LCBDE is an optimal surgical approach for treating common bile duct stones with concomitant gallstones, offering faster postoperative recovery, lower hospitalization costs, shorter hospital stays, and reduced drainage tube indwelling time. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
