1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

In colorectal surgery, anastomotic leakage is a serious complication, leading to higher postoperative morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of serum and intraperitoneal C-reactive protein (CRP) in early diagnostics of anastomotic leakage on the first four postoperative days after colorectal surgery. From January to October 2019, fifty-nine patients with colorectal carcinoma were operated on, with formation of primary anastomosis. Anastomotic leakage was diagnosed in eight patients. Comparing the levels of serum and intraperitoneal CRP, our study showed that serum CRP was a better predictor of anastomotic leakage. Serum CRP levels lower than 121 mg/L on postoperative day 4 were predictive of good healing of anastomosis.
