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

The definition of valid quality indicators is an essential task of medical self-administration and quality assurance. Based on the literature and the results of the Study, Documentation, and Quality Center (StuDoQ) Rectal Cancer Registry, we suggest the following QIs: rate of circumferential resection margin (CRM) positive resected material, rate of anastomotic leak in patients with anastomoses, rate of abdominal wound healing disorders and rate of patients with newly established permanent urinary diversion. Additionally, a new marker, the MTL30, which subsumes patient death within 30 days after the index operation, patient transfer to another acute hospital within 30 days after the index operation or a length of inpatient hospital stay of more than 30 days.
