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

backgroundPrevious literature suggests that rates of postoperative complications following inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) surgery differ based on race.

aimsThe purpose of this study was to examine the association between race and adverse events and wound complications in patients with IBD.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of the American College of Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Program Inflammatory Bowel Disease Collaborative from 2017 to 2022. The data was collected from 15 high-volume IBD centers across the United States. The data was analyzed using crude and multivariable logistic regressions.

results4284 patients were included in the study. Overall rates of adverse events and wound complications were 20.3% and 11.3%, respectively, and did not differ based on race on bivariate analysis. Rates of adverse events were 20.0% vs 24.6% vs 22.1%, p = 0.13 for white, black and other minority subjects, respectively. The adjusted odds of adverse events were higher for black subjects (1.46 [95%CI 1.0-2.1], p = 0.03) compared to white subjects. No difference in adverse events was found between other minority subjects and either black or white subjects (1.29 [0.7-2.3], p = 0.58). Race was not associated with likelihood of wound complications in the final analysis.

conclusionsWe found that a subset of black patients with IBD continue to experience more adverse events compared to white patients, primarily driven by a higher need for postoperative blood transfusion. Nonetheless, known risk factors, including comorbid conditions, decreased BMI, open surgery, and emergency surgery have a stronger association with postoperative complications than race alone.
