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
Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is considered the gold standard treatment for symptomatic gallstone disease, iatrogenic bile duct injury remains a rare but serious complication. We present a case of a Strasberg type D bile duct injury that was diagnosed intraoperatively and successfully managed with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) during the same session, and we discuss it in light of the current literature. A 46-year-old female patient underwent LC for a hydropic and edematous gallbladder. During difficult dissection, a bile leak was observed from the posterior wall of the common hepatic duct, consistent with a Strasberg type D injury. The endoscopy team was consulted intraoperatively, and ERCP was performed. Cholangiography confirmed the leak, and a plastic stent was placed from the common hepatic duct to the ampulla. The operation was completed with drainage of the subhe-patic area. Postoperatively, the patient remained clinically stable. At the sixth postoperative week, follow-up ERCP revealed complete healing with no evidence of leakage, and the stent was removed. The patient had an uneventful recovery, with normal biochemical parameters on follow-up. Early recognition of iatrogenic bile duct injury is the most critical factor influencing prognosis. The literature reports intraoperative detection rates between 25% and 32%, whereas delayed diagnosis is associated with higher morbidity, additional surgical interventions, and prolonged hospital stay. Endoscopic management, particularly in Strasberg type C and type D injuries where ductal continuity is preserved, has shown high success rates (89-96%) and represents a reliable alternative to surgery. This case high-lights that multidisciplinary collaboration and intraoperative endoscopic intervention provide a minimally invasive and effective option for the management of bile duct injuries during LC.
