Preoperative risk factors for prolonged postoperative ileus after colorectal resection.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
purposeProlonged postoperative ileus (PPOI) after colorectal resection significantly impacts patients' recovery and hospital stay. Because treatment options for PPOI are limited, it is necessary to focus on prevention strategies. The aim of this study is to investigate risk factors associated with PPOI in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
methodsData from all consecutive patients who underwent colorectal resection in our department were retrospectively analyzed from a prospective database over a 9-month period. PPOI was defined as the necessity to insert a nasogastric tube in a patient who experienced nausea and two episodes of vomiting with absence of bowel function. Multivariable analysis was performed considering a prespecified list of 16 potential preoperative risk factors.
resultsA total of 523 patients (mean age 59 years; 52.2% males) were included, and 83 patients (15.9%) developed PPOI. Statistically significant independent predictors of PPOI were male sex (OR 2.07; P = 0.0034), open resection (OR 4.47; P < 0.0001), conversion to laparotomy (OR 4.83; P = 0.0015), splenic flexure mobilization (OR 1.72; P = 0.063), and rectal resection (OR 2.72; P = 0.0047). Discriminative ability of this prediction model was 0.72.
conclusionsTherapeutic strategies aimed to prevent PPOI after colorectal resection should focus on patients with increased risk. Patients and medical staff can be informed of the higher PPOI risk, so that early treatment can be started.
