Associated factors with delayed ambulation after abdominal surgery.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
purposeAfter abdominal surgery, ambulatory status is an important indicator of postoperative recovery. This study investigated the inability to ambulate on postoperative day 1 and identified associated predictive factors in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, focusing on preoperative hematologic markers such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and prognostic nutritional index.
methodsAdult patients undergoing abdominal surgery from May 2018 to October 2018 were investigated consecutively. Only patients with duration of surgery ≥ 3 h were included for observation. Data on patient characteristics were collected from medical charts and laboratory results. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to determine associations with inability to ambulate without human assistance on postoperative day 1 and postoperative length of stay.
resultsOf 416 eligible patients, 217 patients were included in the analysis. Sixty-nine patients (31.7%) were not able to ambulate on postoperative day 1. The NLR (odds ratio, 1.11; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.23), duration of surgery (odds ratio per 1 h, 1.27; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-1.43), and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of 3 (odds ratio, 4.99; 95% confidence interval, 1.15-21.5) were independently associated with the inability to ambulate without assistance on postoperative day 1, which was also associated with longer hospital stays (13 [11, 22] vs 21 [15, 39] days, P < 0.001).
conclusionsThe NLR, surgical duration, and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status were significantly associated with the inability to ambulate without human assistance on postoperative day 1 and prolonged hospitalization.
