1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate various clinical parameters that would influence the occurrence of wound infection (WI) in elective laparoscopic surgery (LS) for colorectal carcinoma.

methodsThe study included 290 patients who underwent LS between June 2001 and December 2005. WI was diagnosed within 30 days of the operation, and both superficial and deep incision surgical site infection were evaluated together.

resultsEighteen (6.2%) were diagnosed with WI. Of the infected patients, nine (50%) had WI at the extraction site, six (33%) at the port site of the drainage tube, and three (17%) at the supraumbilical incision. Following bivariate analysis, the variables of stoma creation, intraoperative hypotension, and length of operation were selected for multivariate analysis as their P values were <0.2, the predominant cutoff, and stoma creation and intraoperative hypotension were independently predictive of developing WI. Regarding the duration of postoperative hospital stay, there was no significant difference between patients with or without WI.

conclusionsStoma creation and intraoperative hypotension were independent risk factors for WI. The results obtained in this study should be considered in an effort to prevent WI in LS for colorectal carcinoma, although these risk factors need further evaluation.
