Risk factors and long-term outcome for postoperative intra-abdominal infection after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma.

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
Intra-abdominal infection (IAI) after hepatectomy is an important morbidity. Identification of risk factors that could be avoided in the perioperative period may reduce the prevalence of IAI after hepatectomy for hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC).Between January 1995 and December 2009, all patients with HCC who underwent curative liver resection were evaluated retrospectively. Long-term outcomes were compared in IAI patients and non-IAI patients after hepatectomy. Preoperative, intraoperative, and tumor-related factors that could be independent factors for postoperative IAI were identified.Of 622 patients with HCC, 24 patients (3.9%) had IAI after hepatectomy. Both median survival and survival of patients with postoperative IAI were shorter than those for non-IAI patients (P < .05). Upon univariate analysis followed by multivariate analyses, three independent predictors for IAI were identified: weight loss (odds ratio [OR], 3.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17-9.11; P = .024), liver cirrhosis (0.28, 0.12-0.67, .004), and operative time >300 minutes (3.44, 1.46-8.12, .005).IAI after hepatectomy affects outcome adversely. Preoperative weight loss, liver cirrhosis, and operative time >300 minutes are independent predictors of postoperative IAI.
