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

BACKGROUND/

aimThe present study aimed to evaluate the predictors of admission to the Critical Care Units (CCUs) and factors predisposing to prolonged stay in CCUs after gynecological oncology surgery. PATIENTS AND

methodsStudies which addressed cases of women who underwent surgery for gynecological malignancies and required postoperative CCU admission were included.

resultsSeven studies with 3820 patients were included. Among them, 1680 required admission to CCU. Advanced age, higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score, longer operative times, protracted blood loss and intestinal resection were associated with higher probability of CCU admission. Patients' age, operative times, blood loos and intestinal resection were significant predictors of prolonged stay to CCUs.

conclusionAdmission to CCU and length of stay following surgery for gynecologic malignancies is driven by specific patient characteristics as well as intraoperative values. Further studies are needed to validate high risk patients who will benefit from postoperative care to CCUs to ensure favorable postoperative outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
