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

backgroundInguinal lymphadenectomy (ILND) has historically been associated with substantial morbidity. The objective of this study was to obtain contemporary ILND morbidity rates and to identify potentially preventable risk factors.

methodsWe carried out a retrospective review of medical records for all superficial, deep, and combination groin dissections performed at a single, high-volume academic centre between January 2007 and December 2020. We collected data points for patient, disease, and surgery characteristics, and cancer outcomes. The outcome of interest was any complication within 30 days of surgery. Complications included wound infection, wound necrosis or disruption, seroma, drainage procedure, hematoma, and lymphedema. We performed multivariate logistic regression using SAS version 9.4.

resultsWe identified 139 patients having undergone 89 superficial, 12 deep, and 38 combined dissection types, respectively. Melanoma accounted for 84.9% of cases. Of these patients, 56.1% had an adverse postoperative event within 30 days. Increasing age (odds ratio [OR] 1.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.07,

conclusionComplication rates after ILND remain high. We identified a number of risk factors, providing opportunities for better selection and prevention.
