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

backgroundAlthough obesity is a well-established contributor to surgical risks, evidence regarding the specific outcomes of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in obese patients remains scarce.

aimTo assess clinicopathologic differences and 1-year outcomes following elective LC in patients with obesity and gallstone disease.

methodsThis retrospective study analyzed data from 65 patients who underwent elective LC for gallstone disease between January 2020 and May 2022, with outcomes assessed at the 1-year follow-up. Patients were categorized as obese (body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m

resultsThe obese group had significantly higher American Society of Anesthesiologists scores, higher glycated hemoglobin levels, and lower vitamin D levels than the non-obese group. Elevated triglycerides were more frequent in the obese group, whereas higher high-density lipoprotein levels were more common in the non-obese group. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes did not differ between the groups. At the 1-year follow-up, 24.6% of patients reported post-cholecystectomy symptoms, with no group differences.

conclusionObese patients had higher American Society of Anesthesiologists scores, lower vitamin D, and elevated triglycerides preoperatively, but these differences did not significantly affect intraoperative findings or 1-year postoperative outcomes compared to non-obese patients.
