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

objectiveThere is a lack of information about the normal trend of C-reactive protein (CRP) blood levels in the postoperative days after gynecological benign surgery. We investigated the impact of different surgical techniques on CRP trend. We performed a comparative analysis between a CRP and white blood cell (WBC) trend in postoperative monitoring.

methodsWe studied 207 surgical patients for benign gynecological pathology. We analyzed CRP and WBC levels after surgery in the total number of women and separately by approaches.

resultsCRP mean log scores showed a typical behavior. Moreover, results from chi-square test underline that the proportion of women with this result is independent from the type of surgery they underwent. Log score mean values of CPR differed between all groups and between times. No difference in the mean number of white cells between the second and the third day was found, as observed for CRP.

conclusionsOur study shows a trend reference model in postoperative monitoring of patients with benign gynecological surgery. The comparative analysis between the CRP and WBC trend in the postoperative days provided us data demonstrating the superiority of CRP in postsurgical patient outcomes monitoring.
