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

Objective: To compare the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and surgical site infection (SSI) between percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) and surgical tracheostomy (ST). Methods: Data on 487 patients undergoing tracheostomy between 1 Results: Of all, 344 patients (70.6%) were men and 143 (29.4%) were women, and the mean age was 56 years (standard derivation [SD] 12 years). Two hundred and sixty-six patients (54.6%) received PDT, and 221 (45.4%) received SY. Patients in the PDT group had a significantly lower rate of SSI (3.4% vs. 8.5%, Conclusion: PDT significantly reduces the risk of SSI. Proper care should be administrated in patients with one or more risk factors of SSI or VAP to prevent the occurrence of complications.
