Mapping the Risk Factors of Pharyngocutaneous Fistula After Salvage Laryngectomies.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
To evaluate the postoperative surgical wound infection prevalence rates of patients undergoing SL, identify the causative organism and determine predisposing factors leading to infection. A retrospective study of all consecutive patients who underwent salvage total laryngectomy at our unit between 2015 and 2020 was performed. The following parameters were also analyzed: age, smoking history, pre and postoperative albumin level, history of radio and chemo-radiotherapy, reconstruction with pectoralis flap, intraoperative tracheoesophageal puncture, and tumor stage. A total of 12 of the 21 patients (57%) experienced a postoperative infection after SL during the study period. 82% of those patients whose preoperative albumin level below 3gm/dl developed postoperative infection. There is a significant increase (p < 0.01) in infection in patients with N1 and 2 stage tumor (68%) compared with the N0 stage tumors (40%). Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative albumin and nodal stage were significant risk factors for postoperative infection.
