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

backgroundLaparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly performed operations in the USA. Surgical site infection complicates 1-2% of these operations and can be associated with significant morbidity. Bile spillage (bile spillage) occurs in many of these operations. The associated risk of surgical site infection (SSI) is an ongoing area of research.

methodsNSQIP registries between 2005 and 2018 were queried using Current Procedural Terminology codes 47,562 and 47,563 to identify patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients were considered to have bile spillage if the wound classification was annotated 3 or 4. Acute cholecystitis was excluded by ICD code. Patients were propensity scored for bile spillage and matched for preoperative risk factors. The rates of surgical site infections, morbidity, and mortality and length of stay were analyzed.

results47,919 (31,946 with no spillage and 15,973 with spillage) patients were matched and included in the analysis. After matching, no significant difference was found in superficial or deep SSI regardless of bile spillage. An absolute increase in organ-space SSI of 0.32% was detected. The group with bile spillage had small increases in both minor (1.41% vs. 2.12%) and major (0.67% vs. 1.01%) complications. There was no difference in mortality.

conclusionsThis database analysis demonstrates no clinically relevant difference in surgical site infection rates after intraoperative bile spillage.
