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.

Abstract

Introduction: Postoperative sepsis represents a significant problem in colorectal surgery patients. Aim: To identify the etiology as well as the risk factors associated with the development of postoperative sepsis, based on prospective data of patients undergoing colorectal surgery at a single large-volume institution. Material and methods: Between November 2019 and February 2021, 141 patients underwent an elective operation for colorectal cancer at a tertiary hospital center. The following variables were recorded for each patient: age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists Classification (ASA class), duration of surgery, surgical approach, comorbidities (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease). Univariate analysis was performed using χ Results: A total of 69 males and 72 females were enrolled. Postoperative sepsis was diagnosed in 18 (12.77%) cases, with anastomotic leakage being the most frequent cause (3.55%). There was no statistically significant difference in the presence of sepsis among patients when gender, surgical approach, duration of surgery, and respiratory disease were taken into account. Sixty-nine patients were > 65 years old, with sepsis being statistically significant in this group ( Conclusions: Following colorectal cancer procedures, postoperative sepsis was significantly more common among patients over 65 years old, ASA score > 2, and also with associated comorbidities such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
