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

As we all know, various complications may occur after surgery, and postoperative bleeding and infection are the most common in clinical practice. Postoperative infection mainly manifests as abdominal abscess, peritonitis, and fungal infection. Thoracic surgery is a very common clinical operation. It can directly deal with the relevant lesions, so a better curative effect can usually be obtained. However, patients undergoing thoracic surgery are generally more severely ill, with low immune resistance, long duration, and complicated surgical treatment process. Therefore, the probability of nosocomial infection is high, and there are many risk factors for infection. After the occurrence of HAI, it not only increases the suffering and economic burden of patients and the workload of medical staff but also prolongs the hospitalization time of patients, reduces the turnover rate of hospital beds, causes unnecessary economic losses, and affects the social and economic benefits of hospitals. Based on this, this paper proposes to analyze the risk factors of nosocomial infection in patients undergoing thoracic surgery, so as to provide a reference for the prevention or control of nosocomial infection. This paper analyzes the actual situation of nosocomial infection in a city hospital and then uses meta-analysis to determine the factors of nosocomial infection from the perspective of relevant research literature. Meta-analysis results show that patients older than 60 years have twice the risk of postoperative infection compared with patients younger than 60 years.
