Evaluation and comparison of 3 preoperative drainage methods for acute cholecystitis.

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 and Objectives: In some cases of acute cholecystitis, preoperative drainage may be necessary, depending on the patient's condition. We compared the results of 3 preoperative drainage methods, endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETGBD), EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-GBD), and percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD), to determine the optimal drainage method. Methods: ETGBD was performed in 138 patients, EUS-GBD in 17, and PTGBD in 45. Results: The technical success rate of ETGBD was 87.0%, 94.1% for EUS-GBD, and 100% for PTGBD. ETGBD was associated with a significantly shorter time to white blood cell normalization ( Conclusion: Preoperative drainage as a bridging therapy for elective Lap-C should be performed in cases of acute cholecystitis, with ETGBD as the first choice and EUS-GBD as the second in cases of ETGBD failure.
