Risk and management of post-operative infectious complications in inflammatory bowel disease: A systematic review.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundIndications for surgery in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) include treatment-refractory disease or severe complications such as obstruction, severe colitis, dysplasia, or neoplasia. Infectious complications following colorectal surgery in IBD are significant, particularly in high-risk patients.
aimTo gather evidence on risk factors associated with increased post-operative infectious complications in IBD and explore management strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality.
methodsA systematic review adhering to PRISMA-P guidelines was conducted. MEDLINE (PubMed) and Cochrane Library databases were searched using specific keywords. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies involving patients with IBD undergoing abdominal surgery with infectious complications within 30 d postoperatively. Exclusion criteria included patients under 18 years and non-infectious complications. Selected papers were analyzed to identify factors contributing to post-operative infections. A narrative analysis was performed to provide evidence-based recommendations for management. The data were then extracted and assessed based on the
resultsThe initial database search yielded 1800 articles, with 330 articles undergoing full-text review. After excluding duplicates and irrelevant papers, 35 articles were included for analysis. Risk factors for post-operative complications in patients with IBD included hypoalbuminemia, malnutrition, preoperative abscess, and obesity. Perioperative blood transfusion was associated with increased infectious complications. Medications such as 5-aminosalicylates and immunomodulators did not increase post-operative complications. Corticosteroids were associated with an increased risk of complications. Ustekinumab and vedolizumab showed similar rates of infectious complications compared to other treatments. The impact of minimally invasive surgery on post-operative complications varied across studies.
conclusionIn order to reduce post-operative infectious complications in patients with IBD, a comprehensive approach involving multiple disciplines is necessary.
