Optimal timing of reoperation for postoperatively diagnosed T2 gallbladder cancer: a retrospective multicenter cohort study.

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: Although the frequency of incidental diagnosis of gallbladder cancer (GBC) after cholecystectomy is increasing and further resection is necessary for stage T2 GBC or higher, the optimal timing of reoperation remains debated. The objective of the current study was to compare short- and long-term outcomes according to the interval between initial cholecystectomy and reoperation. Methods: Among 802 patients who underwent extended cholecystectomy for T2 GBC between November 2004 and October 2022 at five tertiary referral centers in Korea, 148 underwent reoperation after initial cholecystectomy and were included in this study. Patient outcomes were compared according to the interval between initial cholecystectomy and reoperation. Results: Patients were divided into three groups according to the interval between initial cholecystectomy and reoperation: <4 weeks (group A), 4-8 weeks (group B), and >8 weeks (group C). Operation time (A Conclusions: The optimal interval between initial cholecystectomy and reoperation for postoperatively diagnosed T2 GBC is 4-8 weeks. Early reoperation is associated with worse intraoperative outcomes, and delayed reoperation is associated with higher risk of recurrence.
