Independent risk factors for prolonged postoperative ileus development.
Observational study in The Journal of surgical research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
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
backgroundPostoperative ileus (POI) has a significant impact on patient wellbeing, and with a 15% incidence in colectomy patients costs US hospitals >$1.3 billion per year. Although some causative mechanisms have been identified, little is known about what places patients at risk for ileus. We aimed to identify factors that independently influence the development of POI. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients who underwent elective surgery between 2011 and 2012 were identified from the colectomy-specific American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and demographics, comorbidities, preoperative treatments, and operative characteristics were evaluated as risk factors using multivariate analyses.
resultsA total of 9734 patients were included in this analysis; 1364 (14%) were found to have POI. Patients who developed an ileus were more likely to develop any postoperative complication, to be readmitted, and require reoperation compared with patients without POI. In addition, we identified 13 independent risk factors for POI.
conclusionsFive modifiable risk factors for development of POI were identified as follows: smoking, weight loss, preoperative oral antibiotics, mechanical bowel preparation, and surgical approach. These identifications provide insight into possible targets for preoperative modification, which may lead to improvements in patients' quality of life and influence outcomes such as postoperative complications, readmission, and reoperation.
