Predictive value of inflammatory markers for postoperative recovery following colorectal surgery.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02395380 (Evaluation of the Predictive Nature of the Postoperative CRP on Postoperative Recovery in Patients Undergoing Colorectal Resection), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundUsing biological markers to predict serious complications and global postoperative recovery, to ensure safe and timely patient discharge after elective colorectal surgery represents a major challenge. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that C-reactive protein levels < 172 mg/l on postoperative day 3 were associated with postoperative recovery within 5 days.
methodsThis is a prospective study of a consecutive bicentric cohort. Successive patients scheduled for bowel resection with anastomosis, without stoma, were included. The main composite endpoint for overall postoperative recovery included absence of fever, absence of pain > 2 on the visual analog scale, intestinal gas transit, and patient autonomy for mobility and body care.
resultsOne hundred sixty-height patients, with a mean age of 65 years old, were analyzed. Ninety patients (53%) underwent right colectomy and 131 (77%) were operated on by laparoscopy. Severe postoperative complications were observed in 11 patients (6%). One hundred twenty patients (71%) recovered within 5 days. C-reactive protein levels < 172 mg/L on postoperative day 3 had a negative predictive value of 80% to predict recovery within 5 days. Ninety-five percent of patients with C-reactive protein < 172 mg/L at postoperative day 3 had no severe postoperative complications.
conclusionLevels of C-reactive protein < 172 mg/L at postoperative day 3 corresponded with an early recovery in 80% of cases, thus allowing safe and early discharge without risk of serious complications.
