Predicting Conversion From Laparoscopic to Open Cholecystectomy: A Prospective Risk Factor Analysis and Scoring Model Formulation.

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
Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold standard treatment for symptomatic gallstone disease. However, a subset of cases requires conversion to open cholecystectomy (OC) due to anatomical challenges or intraoperative complications. Objective To identify the preoperative and intraoperative risk factors associated with conversion of LC to OC and propose a simple scoring system to predict high-risk cases. Methodology A prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Uttar Pradesh University of Medical Sciences, Saifai, Etawah, a tertiary center in Northern India serving mainly a rural population, from June 2023 to December 2024. Patients undergoing LC for symptomatic cholelithiasis were enrolled. Preoperative variables, including age, gender, comorbidities, previous abdominal surgery, and laboratory markers, were recorded. Intraoperative findings, such as gallbladder appearance, adhesions, Calot's triangle anatomy, presence of common bile duct (CBD) stones, cholecystoenteric fistula, and attainment of the critical view of safety (CVS), were analyzed. Statistical significance was set at
