1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionIn January 2014 an internal audit was performed at the department of surgery, division of vascular surgery of the Medical University Graz, Austria, to assess the short and long-term outcomes of prosthetic shunt graft implantations performed between December 1998 and December 2013. A 10.8 % explantation rate due to graft infection was detected. The majority of the cases were associated with PATIENTS AND

methodsBetween December 1998 and December 2014 a total of 490 prosthetic shunt grafts were implanted. After exclusion of 54 cases, 436 shunts remained for statistical analysis. Genetic analysis (spa typing) was acquired from three new cases with involvement of

resultsOf the prostheses 14.0 % (61 out of 436) had to be explanted of which 12.4 % (54/436) were due to infection. In 77.8 % (42/54) bacteria were found in blood and/or wound cultures.

conclusionGenetic typing of spa is a suitable technique for distinguishing between nosocomial and community acquired sources of prosthetic shunt graft infections.
