Early complications following surgical treatment for Crohn's disease.
Article in Annals of surgery, 1985. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
One hundred thirty patients with Crohn's disease operated at the Mount Sinai Hospital were studied to determine the incidence of early postoperative complications. Thirty per cent of patients developed postoperative complications, while eight per cent had major complications requiring readmission to the hospital, reoperation, or suture of a bleeding vessel. Patients with a low preoperative serum albumin concentration had a significantly higher incidence of nonseptic and multiple complications. Septic complications were more common in patients having extensive resections and in those with multiple previous operations. There was also a significantly higher complication rate in patients requiring permanent or temporary ileostomy as opposed to those having intestinal anastomosis. The majority of complications in the patients with ileostomy were nonseptic in nature. There were no mortalities in this series.
