Prospective evaluation of serum and peritoneal fluid markers as indicators of postoperative complications in patients with enteric anastomosis.

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

methodsThe studied population consisted of patients who underwent surgical treatment with created anastomosis or Hartmann's resection from April 2022 to April 2024, conducted at the Clinical-Hospital Center Kosovska Mitrovica and the University Clinical Center Kragujevac.

main outcome measuresLactate, albumin, lactate dehydrogenase, and IgA antibodies were monitored as predictors of anastomotic dehiscence and general postoperative complications. SAMPLE SIZE: 52.
resultsThe concentration of lactate in the drain fluid on the third postoperative day was statistically significantly higher in patients who did not develop anastomotic dehiscence (
conclusionThis study revealed significant differences in the concentrations of lactate, albumin, and LDH in the drain fluid on the third and fifth days post-surgery with respect to the development of complications. These results suggest that monitoring these markers may help in the early identification of patients at risk of complications such as dehiscence. LIMITATIONS: Limited literature on specific aspects of this study, including the absence of a control group, small sample size, and two-center study.
