Hyperglycemia 3 days after esophageal cancer surgery is associated with an increased risk of postoperative infection.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
purposePostoperative hyperglycemia is associated with infectious complications after various types of surgery. Our objective was to determine whether postoperative blood glucose levels up to 1 week after highly invasive esophageal cancer surgery are associated with the incidence of postoperative infections (POIs).
methodsWe conducted a retrospective chart review of 109 consecutive thoracic esophageal squamous cell cancer patients who underwent invasive esophagectomy with thoracotomy and laparotomy. The incidence of postoperative POIs and risk factors for POIs, including postoperative blood glucose levels, were evaluated.
resultsOf the 109 patients, 37 (34.0 %) developed POIs. Clinically, 73.0 % of the POIs became evident on or after postoperative day 4 (median, 5.25 days; interquartile range, 3.00-9.25 days). On and after postoperative day 3, chronological changes in blood glucose levels were significantly different between two groups of patients with or without POIs, as indicated by repeated measures ANOVA (P = 0.006). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that an increased blood glucose concentration on postoperative day 3 was a significant risk factor for POIs.
conclusionsOur findings suggested that postoperative hyperglycemia on postoperative day 3 was a predictive factor of POIs after highly invasive esophageal cancer surgery.
