Improved outcomes and prognostic risk prediction for laparoscopic common bile duct exploration with primary closure versus T-tube drainage.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo compare laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) with primary closure plus double-J stent versus T-tube drainage after LCBDE, and to identify risk factors for poor outcome.
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, a propensity score matching approach (1:1) was applied to eligible patients, dividing them into an observation group (n = 59, LC+LCBDE with primary closure and double-J biliary stent) and a control group (n = 59, LC+LCBDE with T-tube drainage), yielding a total sample size of 118 cases. Perioperative outcomes, liver function, inflammatory markers, postoperative complications, and stone recurrence were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify prognostic risk factors.
resultsThe observation group showed a significantly higher overall clinical efficacy rate than the control group (94.92% vs. 81.36%,
conclusionLC+LCBDE with primary closure and double-J biliary stent placement is superior to T-tube drainage, offering greater efficacy, accelerated recovery, and fewer complications. Independent risk factors for adverse postoperative outcomes include advanced age, higher BMI, increased common bile duct wall thickness, and sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.
