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

backgroundSurgical site infections (SSIs) are a major driver of morbidity after combined liver and colorectal surgery for metastatic colorectal cancer. Available literature is inadequate to characterize risk factors and benchmarks for quality improvement.

methodsConsecutive cases of simultaneous liver and colorectal surgery for colorectal adenocarcinoma from November 2013 through September 2022 were reviewed for SSIs per National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) and National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) criteria. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression evaluated associations with NSQIP 30-day organ-space SSIs.

resultsIn 580 procedures, the rate of 30-day organ-space SSIs was 16% (n = 94) using NSQIP criteria and 11% (n = 64) using NHSN criteria; 4% (n = 24) had incisional SSIs by both criteria. Most organ-space SSIs were perihepatic, and a minority were associated with bile (26%) or anastomotic (15%) leak. Independent risk factors for organ-space SSIs included major liver resection, upper abdominal (compared with lower abdominal/pelvic) colorectal procedure, and ostomy reversal. Organ-space SSI rates increased over time by approximately 16% per calendar year (p = 0.02) despite a declining rate of major liver resection; incisional SSI rates remained low. Overall, major morbidity was 22%, with 7-day median length of stay (interquartile range 6-9) and 0.3% 90-day mortality.

conclusionOrgan-space SSIs are a significant driver of postoperative morbidity in simultaneous liver and colorectal resections for metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. Our findings confirm simultaneous resection remains safe and interventions to mitigate the risk of perihepatic organ-space SSIs in high-risk patients are warranted.
