Risk factors for incisional surgical site infection after elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundSurgical site infection (SSI) is a common morbidity in patients undergoing colorectal surgery, and the focus of previous studies has primarily been on incisional SSI. Most reports thus far have focused on open surgery rather than on laparoscopic colorectal surgery (Lap CR). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to identify the risk factors for incisional SSI in patients undergoing elective Lap CR.
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the occurrence and risk factors of incisional SSI for elective Lap CR. From January 2008 to June 2018, 1825 consecutive patients with a preoperative diagnosis of colorectal cancer who underwent Lap CR were analyzed at a single institution.
resultsIncidence of incisional SSI was 3.3%. Postoperative hospital stay (days) was significantly longer in the incisional SSI group than in the non-incisional SSI group (8 [6-12] vs 10 [8-19],
conclusionsIncidence of incisional SSI was comparable to that in previous reports
