Gastrointestinal Surgical Outcomes Study (GISOS): a 30-day monocentric prospective cohort study in Ethiopia.
Observational study in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe impact of perioperative mortality and morbidity extends globally, playing substantial roles in mortality rates, levels of disability and economic consequences. This study was primarily designed to provide insights into the surgical outcomes of gastrointestinal surgeries carried out in a high-volume centre in Ethiopia in the year 2023.
designA 30-day prospective cohort observational study employed.
settingHigh volume surgical specialised hospital in Ethiopia.
participantsAll adult patients who had abdominal surgery. OUTCOME MEASURES: 30th-day postoperative mortality and complications.
resultsDuring this prospective observational study, data from 259 patients were collected. This prospective observational study found that 30-day complication rate was 30.5%. Surgical site infection is the leading complications (15.8%) followed by postop acute kidney injury (9.3%). Malignant pathology (adjusted OR (AOR)=1.43 (1.01 to 3.06); p=0.035, ASA III (AOR=4.00 (1.01 to 16.5); p=0.049), ECOG III (AOR=2.8 (1.55 to 7.30); p=0.025) and comorbidity (AOR=2.02 (1.02 to 3.18); p=0.008) had statistically significant association with 30-day complication rates. We also found that a 30-day mortality rate was 14.3%. Emergency surgery (AOR=5.53 (1.4 to 21.6); p=0.014), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group III (AOR=8.6 (1.01 to 74.1); p=0.0499), American Society of Anesthesiology III (AOR=12.7 (1.9 to 85.5); p=0.009) and comorbidity (AOR=7.5 (1.4 to 39.1); p=0.017) had statistical significance association with a 30-day mortality rate after gastrointestinal surgery.
conclusionThe findings of this study indicated that postoperative mortality and complications were alarmingly high, which highlights the need for innovative solutions to lower postoperative mortality and complications.
