Risk factors for superficial incisional surgical site infection after gastrectomy: analysis of patients enrolled in a prospective randomized trial comparing skin closure methods.
Trial report in Gastric cancer : official journal of the International Gastric Cancer Association and the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 3 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
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
backgroundSurgical site infection is one of the commonest complications of gastrointestinal surgery. The nature of surgical procedures and wound closure methods may influence the incidence of superficial incisional surgical site infection. Patients enrolled in a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing skin closure methods are the best subjects for analyzing surgical site infection risk.
methodFrom a cohort of 1080 patients who had been enrolled in our previous randomized controlled trial, data for 685 patients who had undergone elective open total gastrectomy or distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer were extracted. The incidences of superficial incisional surgical site infection after total gastrectomy and distal gastrectomy were compared and risk factors for superficial incisional surgical site infection were investigated by univariate analyses using logistic regression models.
resultsIn all, 42 patients (6.1 %) developed superficial incisional surgical site infections after gastrectomy; 15 of 288 patients (5.2 %) developed these infections after total gastrectomy, and 27 of 397 patients (6.8 %) developed these infections after distal gastrectomy-these differences are not significant. According to univariate analysis, age (75 years or older or younger than 75 years) was the only risk factor for superficial incisional surgical site infections (P = 0.049). There was a tendency for the incidence of superficial incisional surgical site infection to increase in parallel with age.
conclusionThe incidence of superficial incisional surgical site infection did not differ between total gastrectomy and distal gastrectomy. Advanced age was the only identified risk factor for superficial incisional surgical site infections after gastrectomy.
