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/Aims: Postoperative complications tend to occur in high-risk populations, including those undergoing major surgery. Surgical site infections (SSI) are some of the most common postoperative complications in laparotomy procedures. Surgery induces a postoperative stress response, triggering an inflammatory process that increases muscle protein proteolysis. Preoperative protein intake increases muscle protein reserves and supports postoperative wound healing and immunity. This study analyzed the association between preoperative protein adequacy and post-elective laparotomy SSI. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 93 subjects with an adequate protein group of 48 subjects and an inadequate protein group of 45 subjects undergoing elective laparotomy at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. The protein adequacy was analyzed using an interview method for seven days preoperatively. Patient monitoring was carried out for 30 days postoperatively to assess the complications in the form of SSIs. The association between protein adequacy and SSI was analyzed using a Chi-Square test, and multivariate analysis was performed to assess the factors most associated with post-elective laparotomy SSI. Results: An association was observed between preoperative protein adequacy and post-elective laparotomy SSI (RR 3.413; 95% CI, 1.363-8.549; p=0.004). Multivariate analysis showed that the preoperative protein adequacy and preoperative albumin levels were strongly predictive of the occurrence of SSI. Conclusions: The preoperative protein adequacy and albumin levels were strongly related to predicting the post-elective laparotomy SSI.
