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

objectiveThis study evaluates postoperative outcomes of patients with kidney failure on chronic kidney replacement therapy after gynecological surgery.

methodsThis binational data-linkage study identified patients with kidney failure via the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry who underwent major gynecological surgeries between 2000 and 2015. The primary outcome was postoperative mortality. Secondary outcomes included infective, medical, and wound complications, transfusion requirement, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, readmissions, length of stay, and dialysis/transplant-specific outcomes. Univariable and multivariable logistic and negative binomial regression models were used.

resultsAmong the 403 patients included, 30.5% underwent abdominal hysterectomy, 19.1% vaginal hysterectomy and 50.4% ovarian surgery. Thirty-day mortality and morbidity rates were 1.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.5-3.0) and 30.8% (95% CI: 26.3-35.6), respectively. Compared with abdominal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy was associated with fewer transfusions (adjusted odds ratios [aOR]: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.16-0.98), ICU admissions (aOR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.09-0.80), and shorter stays (IRR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.55-0.99). Of all kidney replacement therapies, postoperative mortality was highest in patients on peritoneal dialysis (6.9%, 95% CI: 1.2-24.2, P = 0.026). This cohort also required more transfusions (aOR: 2.84, 95% CI: 1.12-7.21) and had longer stays (IRR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.07-2.33). Kidney transplant recipients had fewer ICU admissions (aOR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.09-0.52) and shorter stays (IRR: 0.75, 95% CI: 0.58-0.96). Emergency admissions and older age correlated with poorer outcomes.

conclusionPatients on chronic kidney replacement therapy undergoing gynecological surgery demonstrated low postoperative mortality but substantial morbidity. Further research is needed to evaluate risk-mitigating strategies.
