Perioperative outcomes in male patients undergoing cystectomy, radical colorectal procedure or total pelvic exenteration.
Article in Translational andrology and urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Total pelvic exenteration (TPE) in men is a surgical procedure to treat genitourinary and colorectal malignancies. Despite improvement in multimodal strategies and technology, mortality is still high and literature is limited about perioperative outcomes comparison to other radical procedures. Methods: We analyzed National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) baseline database of all male patients undergoing cystectomy, low anterior resection/abdominoperineal resection (LAR/APR) or TPE from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2016. Postoperative complications within 30 days after surgery were measured including: Wound infection, septic complications, deep vein thrombosis, cardiovascular events, and return to the operating room or mortality, etc. Differences between groups were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests. Results: A total of 7,375 patients underwent radical cystectomy, 49,762 underwent LAR/APR and 792 underwent TPE. Cystectomy patients were on average older compared to TPE or LAR/APR patients (P<0.001). In univariable and multivariable analysis, patients undergoing TPE had greater infectious and septic complications compared to cystectomy (odds ratio =1.09; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06-1.12) and LAR/APR (odds ratio =1.08; 95% CI: 1.05-1.11). Moreover, TPE had a slightly higher mortality within the 30-day postoperatively than those who underwent LAR/APR (odds ratio =1.01; 95% CI: 1.00-1.02) and cystectomy (odds ratio =1.01; 95% CI: 1.00-1.01). Conclusions: Men undergoing TPE had greater rates of infections and postoperative complications compared to those undergoing radical cystectomy and LAR/APR. From a clinical standpoint, TPE has high morbidity that could provide opportunity for quality improvement projects with the goal of mitigating high complication rates.
