Long-term Outcomes After Emergency Laparotomy: a Retrospective Study.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
backgroundEmergency laparotomy (EL) is a common surgical operation with poor outcomes. Patients undergoing EL are often frail and have chronic comorbidities, but studies focused on the long-term outcomes after EL are lacking. The aim of the present study was to examine the long-term mortality after EL.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective single-center cohort study of 674 adults undergoing midline EL between May 2015 and December 2017. The follow-up lasted until September 2020. The primary outcome was 2-year mortality after surgery. The secondary outcome was factors associated with mortality during follow-up.
resultsA total of 554 (82%) patients survived > 90 days after EL and were included in the analysis. Of these patients, 120 (18%) died during the follow-up. The survivors were younger than the non-survivors (median [IQR] 64 [49-74] vs. 71 [63-80] years, p < 0.001). In a Cox regression model, death during follow-up was associated with longer duration of operation (OR 2.21 [95% CI 1.27-3.83]), higher ASA classification (OR 2.37 [1.15-4.88]), higher CCI score (OR 4.74 [3.15-7.14]), and postoperative medical complications (OR 1.61 [1.05-2.47]).
conclusionsPatient-related factors, such as higher ASA classification and CCI score, were the most remarkable factors associated with poor long-term outcome and mortality after EL.
