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

objectiveTo clarify risk factors for wound infection after laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer. SUBJECTS AND

methodsThe study group comprised 1144 patients. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the following 14 postoperative risk factors for wound infection.

resultsUnivariate analysis showed that the following 4 risk factors were related to wound infection: tumor location right-sided colon cancer, a preoperative serum albumin level of ≤2.5 g/dL, anastomotic technique [functional end-to-end anastomosis (FEEA)], and sutures used at the time of wound closure non-polydioxanone sutures (PDS)-Plus. Multivariate analysis indicated that 3 factors were independent risk factors for wound infection: a preoperative serum albumin level of ≤2.5 g/dL, FEEA, and the use of non-PDS-Plus sutures wound closure.

conclusionsRisk factors for wound infection after laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer were a preoperative serum albumin level of ≤2.5 g/dL, FEEA, and the use of non-PDS-Plus sutures.
