Comparative Registry-Based Analysis of Cholecystectomy Outcomes at a German University Hospital and Nationwide Data.
Article in Visceral medicine, 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
Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common procedures in general surgery and is the gold standard of care for symptomatic cholecystolithiasis, as well as for cholecystitis. The aim of this study was to analyze the surgical approach and outcomes of cholecystectomy (CE) at a university hospital and compare the findings with published national data. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study including all patients who underwent CE between January 2008 and December 2017 at our center. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate risk factors for conversion. Surgical management and complications were compared with published nationwide annual reports. Results: Of the 1,537 CEs, 881 (57.4%) were elective procedures, and 656 (42.7%) were emergency procedures. A total of 1,261 (82.2%) patients underwent minimally invasive surgery, and conversion was necessary in 10.7% ( Conclusion: Our data show that CE at a university hospital can be performed with comparable mortality rates and lengths of stay in patients with more comorbidities. Our results emphasize the need for patient-tailored management in high-risk patients.
