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

backgroundAnastomotic leakage (AL) is a significant complication of rectal cancer surgery, particularly in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the onset and prognostic factors influencing AL in these patients and provide insights for better postoperative management.

aimTo explore AL incidence in patients who underwent neoadjuvant radiotherapy for rectal cancer and evaluate influencing factors and prognosis.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed data of patients with rectal cancer who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy post-radical surgery admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to January 2023. Postoperative AL was recorded in all patients. Among 63 patients with AL initially enrolled, 2 were lost to follow-up; thus, 61 patients were included in the incident group. Another 59 patients without AL were included in the non-incident group. Clinical characteristics of both groups were analyzed to identify factors affecting postoperative AL and determine prognosis.

resultsMultivariate analysis revealed that sex, operative time, bleeding, pelvic radiation injury, and intraoperative blood transfusion were independent risk factors for postoperative AL (

conclusionSex, operative time, bleeding loss, pelvic radiation damage, and intraoperative blood transfusion are independent risk factors for AL and the distance between tumor and ISREC grade potentially affect prognosis.
