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

purposeSurgical site infections (SSIs) are the most frequent complication of abdominal surgery. Using triclosan-coated sutures for abdominal wall closure reportedly reduces the incidence of SSIs. However, the SSI incidence has not been compared between the use of triclosan-coated multifilament and triclosan-coated monofilament sutures. We, therefore, compared the incidence of incisional SSIs between the use of triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 sutures (Vicryl Plus) and triclosan-coated polydioxanone sutures (PDS Plus).

methodsThis observational cohort study was conducted on 318 consecutive patients who underwent elective colorectal cancer surgery at the Shiga University of Medical Science Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018. Based on the suture type for abdominal wall closure, 151 patients were enrolled in the PDS Plus group, and 167 were enrolled in the Vicryl Plus group.

resultsThe two suture groups were not significantly different in terms of risk factors for SSIs. Other postoperative complications also did not differ markedly between the two groups. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the presence of stoma was the only independent risk factor for incisional SSIs.

conclusionThe incidence of incisional SSIs was unaffected by the type of triclosan-coated sutures. The presence of stoma was an independent risk factor for incisional SSIs.
