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

From 1966 through 1984 1,451 resections of colorectal carcinoma have been performed in the Department of General Surgery at the RWTH Aachen. 229 (15.8%) of the patients developed an infection of the abdominal incision. As predisposing factors we observed failures correlated with progression of tumor as anemia and hypoproteinemia, a bad general condition and late stages of carcinoma. Accompanying illnesses only had an influence on the infection rate if they could not be recompensated by intensive care medicine. No influence could be determined by the age itself. The improved preoperative preparation with orthograde lavage and enteral and systemic antibiotic prophylaxis caused a decrease of the infection rate from 25% to less than 10%. Nevertheless attending to all these parameters a quick and atraumatic operation procedure is indispensable to avoide a failure of wound healing.
