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

A leakage of a colorectal anastomosis represents a severe complication in visceral surgery. An anastomotic insufficiency (AI) is a potentially life-threatening complication for patients that carries a high risk of subsequent complications and long-term stoma care. Numerous factors influence the risk of AI. Knowing and being able to estimate these factors are essential for successful treatment in colorectal surgery as they help determine the surgical strategy. The recognition of an AI can be challenging for practitioners due to the variability in the clinical presentation. If the presence of AI is suspected appropriate diagnostic measures must therefore be taken. If an AI has occurred a colorectal specialist should definitely be involved in the treatment as this can significantly reduce further complications and the rate of permanent stomas.
