Postoperative complications in patients with Behçet's disease.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo assess the proportion of postoperative complications of various surgeries in patients with Behçet's disease (BD) and compare the risk of surgical complications between BD patients and controls.
methodsWe analyzed 389 BD patients who underwent surgeries at Seoul National University Hospital between January 2003 and December 2019. Controls were 1:1 matched with BD patients based on age at surgery, sex, and type of surgery. Generalized estimating equation analyses were performed to compare the postoperative complications between BD patients and controls.
resultsAmong 632 surgeries in BD patients, 36 (5.7%) surgical site complications, including wound dehiscence (38.9%), bleeding (13.9%), infections (8.3%), anastomotic dehiscence (22.2%), and stricture (5.6%), occurred after median 12 days (IQR 7.8-22.0). Surgical site complications developed frequently after cardiac (33.3%) and vascular (22.2%) surgeries and rarely occurred after ophthalmic (1.5%) surgeries. Seventeen (2.7%) cases required reoperation within median 15 days (IQR 7.0-43.0). Four patients died within median 21 days (IQR 8.3-41.3 days). After adjustment for confounders, BD patients exhibited a significantly higher risk of surgical site complications (OR 3.4, 95% CI 1.4-8.0) and reoperation (OR 5.2, 95% CI 1.2-22.8) after cardiovascular surgery than controls. However, the risks of surgical site complications and reoperation after other types of surgery were similar in both groups.
conclusionsThe risk of postoperative complications varies according to the type of surgeries among BD patients. While cardiovascular surgeries result in higher perioperative complications in BD patients, ophthalmic surgeries show a safety profile similar to those in non-BD patients. Key Points • Patients with Behçet's disease exhibited an increased risk of surgical site complications and subsequent reoperations after cardiovascular surgery than controls. • The safety profile of ophthalmic surgery was comparable between patients with Behçet's disease and controls. • In patients with Behçet's disease, the risk of postoperative complications varies according to the type of surgery.
