[Relaparotomy in secondary peritonitis Planned relaparotomy or relaparotomy on demand?].
Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Secondary peritonitis is associated with serious morbidity and a persistent high mortality in recent decades, this despite improvement in antibiotic, intensive care and surgical treatment. The available literature regarding the surgical treatment of secondary peritonitis was searched through Pubmed (1966- January 2005) as well as a hand search of references of retrieved articles. Definitions, pathophysiology and classification of secondary peritonitis are discussed, as well as the scientific rationale for the surgical treatment in secondary peritonitis. The historical development and the scientific foundation of present-day relaparotomy strategies in secondary peritonitis are evaluated, with an emphasis on two frequently applied surgical treatment strategies: planned relaparotomy and relaparotomy on demand. Criteria for relaparotomy after the initial laparotomy and potential areas for further research to reduce both morbidity and mortality are discussed. Furthermore, the care of patients with secondary peritonitis is evolving from a surgical entity to a more multidisciplinary challenge uniting surgeons, intensivists, radiologists and microbiologists. Research needs to be expanded into novel fields to further decrease morbidity and mortality.
