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

objectivesInfection is one of the major complications following intestinal obstruction surgery, yet predictors of its occurrence are not sufficiently reported. In this study, we examine the factors leading to postoperative inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis.

methodsThe data of 213 patients who underwent intestinal obstruction surgery between 2015 to 2020 in King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, were reviewed retrospectively. Patients' demographic characteristics and preoperative, intraoperative, and 30-day postoperative data were compared between patients who had postoperative SIRS/sepsis and patients who had no complications.

resultsNinety-six patients (44%) developed SIRS/sepsis within 30 days after surgery. More than half of the patients were males (55.8%), and the mean age at operation was 56.7(SD=20.0)years. Preoperative high heart rate, low albumin levels, and postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) admission were independently and significantly associated with developing SIRS/sepsis post-operation. The mortality rate in this study was estimated to be 7.5%; of those, 93.8% had SIRS/sepsis.

conclusionThe 30-day mortality rate is considerably higher among patients who developed SIRS/sepsis after intestinal obstruction surgery. The independent risk factors of developing SIRS/sepsis after operation were elevated heart rate, low albumin levels preoperation, and ICU admission post-operation.
