Wound infection after a laparoscopic resection for colorectal cancer.
Synthesis in Surgery today, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate whether the wound infection (WI) rate in laparoscopic surgery (LS) for colorectal cancer is lower than that in open surgery (OS), and to evaluate the influence of perioperative intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis on the development of WI in LS.
methodsWe performed a meta-analysis study comparing the WI rate in patients who underwent either OS or LS in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), with a relatively large number of registered patients. Moreover, a subgroup analysis of recently reported RCTs from Japan was performed, and 290 consecutive patients who underwent LS for colorectal cancer at our institution were evaluated for the influence of perioperative intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis on the development of WI.
resultsThe WI rate of the LS group was significantly lower than that of the OS group in a meta-analysis; however, no positive effect of the intra-and postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis on the development of WI was demonstrated.
conclusionsLaparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer is considered a surgical technique that has a lower incidence of WI in comparison to OS. Well-designed prospective, randomized controlled trials should therefore be conducted to evaluate whether intraoperative repeated dosing or postoperative repeated dosing is effective in reducing WI in LS.
