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

purposeCytoreductive Surgery (CRS) ± Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is associated with a high incidence of postoperative morbidity. Our aim was to identify independent, potentially actionable perioperative predictors of major complications.

methodsWe reviewed patients who underwent CRS ± HIPEC from June 2020 to January 2022 at a high-volume center. Postoperative complications were categorized using the Comprehensive Complication Index, with the upper quartile defining major complications. Multivariate logistic analysis identified predictive and protective factors.

resultsOf 168 patients, 119 (70.8%) underwent HIPEC. Mean Comprehensive Complication Index was 12.6 (12.7) and upper quartile cut-off was 22.6. Medical complications were more frequent but less severe than surgical (63% vs 18%). Forty-six patients (27.4%) comprised the "major complications" group (mean CCI 30.1 vs 6.3). Multivariate logistic regression showed that heart disease (RR 1.9; 95% CI: 1.1 to 3.3), number of anastomoses (RR 2.4; 95% CI:1.3 to 4.6) and first 24-h fluid balance (RR 1.1; 95% CI: 1.1 to 1.2), were independently associated as risk factors for major complications, while opioid-free anesthesia (RR 0.6; 95% CI: 0.3 to 0.9) and high preoperative hemoglobin (RR 0.9; CI 95%: 0.9 to 0.9) were independent-protective factors.

conclusionPreoperative heart diseases, number of anastomoses and first 24 h-fluid balance are independent risk factors for major postoperative complications, while high preoperative hemoglobin and opioid-free anesthesia are protective. Correction of anemia prior to surgery, avoiding positive fluid balance and incorporation of opioid-free anesthesia strategy are potential actionable measures to reduce postoperative morbidity.
