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

Background: Esophageal cancer in China accounts for nearly half of the global esophageal cancer cases. The relationship between the occurrence of postoperative complications of esophageal cancer surgery and seasonal changes is not clear. Our purpose is to clarify the relationship between postoperative complications of esophageal cancer and season, so as to reduce the incidence of complications. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery in our hospital between January 2013 and December 2014. Patients were divided into the summer group (March-August) and the non-summer group (September-February) according to the seasonal climate. Pulmonary, cardiac, and other complications were recorded. Differences in postoperative complications were compared between the two groups by the chi-squared test. Results: In the 251 patients enrolled, the total postoperative complication rate was 37.8%. The occurrence of incision complications in the summer group was significantly higher than that in the non-summer group (10.1% Conclusions: During the warm months of the year, clinicians should focus on preventing postoperative incision complications, and they should focus on preventing pulmonary and cardiac complications during the cold months.
