Post-Cholecystectomy nutritional management: a comprehensive review of evidence-based guidelines and clinical practice.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Cholecystectomy is one of the most common abdominal surgeries worldwide, yet postoperative nutritional management remains variable. This review synthesizes current evidence on nutritional care after cholecystectomy, with a focus on actionable insights for clinicians. Methods: We conducted a non-systematic narrative review of English-language literature published from January 2010 through June 2026, supplemented by manual searches of guidelines. Due to the narrative design, we did not perform a formal risk-of-bias assessment or meta-analysis. Findings: Postoperative gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., bloating, diarrhea, dyspepsia) are common, but their incidence and etiology vary widely. Early oral feeding within 24 h may reduce hospital stay. High-risk patients (diabetes, obesity, elderly) may benefit from protein supplementation (1.2-1.5 g/kg/day) and selective fat-soluble vitamin monitoring when clinically indicated. We provide a risk-stratified algorithm, critically appraise conflicting evidence, and identify knowledge gaps. While standardized ERAS protocols exist for elective cases, complicated scenarios (acute cholecystitis, post-pancreatitis) require special consideration. Conclusion: This review provides an evidence-informed, cautious framework for individualized postoperative nutritional support, emphasizing that most recommendations are extrapolated from other surgical populations and require validation in cholecystectomy-specific trials.
