Risk factors for surgical site infection in Japanese patients with ulcerative colitis: a multicenter prospective study.
Article in Surgery today, 2014. 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
purposeA prospective, multicenter, observational study was performed to investigate the risk factors of surgical site infection (SSI) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).
methodsFrom 2009 to 2010, perioperative clinicopathological data were collected from patients who had undergone surgery for UC within the research period, for up to 6 consecutive months in 13 hospitals in Japan. The primary outcome was the development of SSI.
resultsA total of 195 patients with UC who underwent colorectal surgery were enrolled. SSI was diagnosed in 38 (19.5 %) patients, in the form of incisional infection in 23 (11.8 %), organ/space infection in 16 (8.2 %), and both in 1 (0.5 %). There were no significant risk factors associated with an increased risk of development of incisional SSI. An American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of ≥ 3 was indicated as the only significant risk factor for organ/space SSI (P = 0.02) compared with other factors, such as a neutrophil count of >100 × 10(2)/mm(3), albumin level of <3.5 g/dl, perioperative packed red blood cell transfusion, fair or poor colonic cleanliness, and therapeutic use of antibiotics.
conclusionPoor general physical status was the significant independent risk factor for organ/space SSI in patients with UC in Japan.
