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

purposeThe timely management of cancer surgery suffered due to COVID-19 and nationwide lockdown. Continuing cancer surgery was a challenge faced by all. We present our experience on cancer surgery in a cancer centre with high volume of patients and limited resources during early pandemic.

methodsWe retrospectively analysed our operation theatre database on surgery and anaesthesia from 1st April to 30th June 2020.

resultsA total of 457 surgeries were done-complex major, major, intermediate and minor surgeries constituted 43%, 25%, 12% and 20%, respectively. Median age of patient was 50 years, and 76% were below 60. The median ASA class was I (I-IV), and 97% were ASA I and II. The median Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score was 0 (0-3), and 92% had score 0 and 1. Major cases done under regional anaesthesia were 30.7%. Median length of intensive care unit stay was 1 (1-6) days, and length of hospital stay was 7 (7-15) days. Clavien-Dindo Grade II complication in patients above 60 years was 16.4% and below 60 years was 17.6% (

conclusionsAdopting and implementing institutional policy catering to limited resource available at our centre, we facilitated cancer surgery.
