Clinical Outcomes and Complications Following Subtotal Cholecystectomy: A Single-Centre Cohort Analysis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Background Subtotal cholecystectomy (STC) is increasingly used as a safe technique for managing difficult gallbladders to reduce the risk of common bile duct (CBD) injury. However, techniques and outcomes vary across institutions, and standardised reporting remains limited. Objective To evaluate peri-operative and post-operative outcomes following STC at a single tertiary centre and to explore pre-operative factors associated with the need for STC, including the frequency of previous gallstone-related admissions and radiologic markers such as impacted infundibular or neck stones, thickened or contracted gallbladder, and imaging features suggestive of a frozen Calot's triangle. Methods Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing STC between January 2021 and January 2024. Data included demographics, indications, operative technique (fenestrating vs. reconstituting), intra-operative findings, complications, and long-term biliary outcomes. The primary endpoint was clinically significant bile leak; secondary outcomes were reoperation, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) requirement, readmission, and mortality. Results Thirty-nine patients underwent STC (97% laparoscopic, 3% open). Median age 49 years with a mean BMI of 39 kg/m
