Clinical and economic burden of surgical complications during hospitalization for digestive cancer surgery in France.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundSurgical complications and particularly infections after digestive cancer surgery remain a major health and economic problem and its burden in France is not well documented.
aimsThe aim of this study was to analyse recent data regarding surgical complications in patients undergoing major digestive cancer surgery, and to estimate its burden for the French society. METHODS AND
resultsUsing the 2018 French hospital discharge database and 2017 National CostStudy we studied hospital stays for surgical resection in patients withdigestive cancer. The population was divided into three groups based onpostoperative outcomes: no complications (NC), related infectious complications (RIC) and other complications. The main analysis compared the length and cost per stay between RIC and NC. Forty-Four thousand one hundred and twenty-three stays following a digestive cancer resection were identified. Lower gastro-intestinal cancers were the most prevalent representing 74.8% of stays, the rate of malnutrition was 32.8% and 15.8% of patients presented RIC. Mean (SD) length of stay varied from 11,7 (9.0) days for NC to 25,5 days (19.5) for RIC (p < 0.01). The mean cost per patients' stay (SD) varied from €10 641 (€ 5897) for the NC to €18 720 (€7905) for RIC (p < .01).
conclusionThe risk of RIC after digestive cancer resection remains high (>15%) and was associated with significantly longer length of stay and higher cost per stay. Although important prevention plans have been implemented in recent years, care strategies are still needed to alleviate the burden on patients and the healthcare system.
