A history of gastrectomy is a risk factor for choledocholithiasis in patients undergoing cholecystectomy: A single center retrospective study.

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
Aim: The incidence of cholelithiasis after gastrectomy is higher than that in the general population; however, the incidence and risk factors for choledocholithiasis have not been well reported. We aimed to assess the association between a history of gastrectomy and choledocholithiasis. Methods: A total of 3025 patients who underwent cholecystectomy with or without choledocholithotomy between January 2006 and December 2020 at Kansai Medical University, Japan were included in this study. Patients were divided into a gastrectomy group with a history of gastrectomy (173 patients, 5.7%) and a control group having no history of gastrectomy (2852 patients, 94.3%). Results: The incidence of choledocholithiasis was 61.8% and 22.2% in the gastrectomy and control groups, respectively, with a significantly higher incidence in the gastrectomy group ( Conclusion: Gastrectomy is a known risk factor for choledocholithiasis. Concomitant cholecystectomy during gastrectomy may be indicated in older men.
