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 (SSI), particularly organ/space SSI, remains a clinically important issue even after laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to identify specific clinical and surgical factors associated with organ/space SSI after LG.
methodsThis was a retrospective study of 407 patients who underwent LG for clinical stage I GC. SSI was defined according to the National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System. The incidence and treatment outcomes of either incisional or organ/space SSI after LG were examined, and the risk factors for each type of SSI were identified using univariate and multivariate analyses.
resultsOrgan/space SSI was observed in 21 patients (5.2 %), while incisional SSI was detected in 18 patients (4.4 %). Although no mortality was observed, the occurrence of either incisional or organ/space SSI significantly prolonged postoperative hospital stays (p = 0.000 and 0.000, respectively); however, organ/space SSI required more re-operations and re-admissions, and eventually longer total hospital stays than incisional SSI (p = 0.036). Intra-abdominal abscess around the pancreas was the main cause of organ/space SSI, while no anastomotic leakage was observed. Multivariate analyses identified male gender (odds ratio (OR) 3.385; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.073-15.07, p = 0.037), chronic liver disease (OR 8.897; 95 % CI 2.502-28.99, p = 0.001), and total gastrectomy (TG) (OR 3.817; 95 % CI 1.380-10.24, p = 0.011) as independent risk factors for organ/space SSI, while TG (OR 3.130; 95 % CI 1.102-8.768, p = 0.033) and operation time ≥320 min (OR 3.732; 95 % CI 1.109-16.98, p = 0.033) were independently associated with incisional SSI.
conclusionsMale gender, chronic liver disease, and TG are independent risk factors for organ/space SSI after LG for GC; thus, meticulous surgical procedures need to be performed among patients with these specific risk factors.
