Continuous follow-up of surgical site infections for 30 days after colorectal surgery.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 4 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
backgroundSurgical site infection (SSI) prolongs hospital stay, increases medical costs, and occasionally leads to mortality. Our goal was to clarify the differences in SSI incidence between our own data and the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) data.
methodsFrom January 2003 to December 2006, we prospectively collected surveillance data from patients who were undergoing elective colorectal resection at the Mie University Graduate School of Medicine.
resultsThree hundred fifty-five elective colorectal resections (144 colon surgeries, 211 rectal surgeries) were included. The median patient age was 57.4 years. SSIs were identified in 60 patients. Cumulative SSI incidence was 16.9%. The average SSI onset was 8.7 days (range = 3-20 days) after operation. Nineteen patients (19/30:31.7%) developed SSI within 6 days of the operation. The incidence of SSI occurring within 6 days after the operation was 5.4%.
conclusionSeventeen percent of SSIs occurred despite the use of perioperative management according to the CDC guidelines. We reported a much higher SSI incidence than that in the NNIS data. However, the SSI incidence within 6 days of surgery was similar to that of the NNIS data. The difference in SSI incidence between our data and that of the NNIS range may result from the different strict surveillance periods.
