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

Bacteria of the human intestinal microflora have a dual role. They promote digestion and are part of a defense mechanism against pathogens. These bacteria could become potential pathogens under certain circumstances. The term "bacterial translocation" describes the passage of bacteria of the gastrointestinal tract through the intestinal mucosa barrier to mesenteric lymph nodes and other organs. In some cases, the passage of bacteria and endotoxins could result in blood stream infections and in multiple organ failure. Open elective abdominal surgery more frequently results in malfunction of the intestinal barrier and subsequent bacterial translocation and blood stream infections than laparoscopic surgery. Postoperative sepsis is a common finding in patients who have undergone non-elective abdominal surgeries, including trauma patients treated with laparotomy. Postoperative sepsis is an emerging issue, as it changes the treatment plan in surgical patients and prolongs hospital stay. The association between bacterial translocation and postoperative sepsis could provide novel treatment options.
