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

objectivesto identify the frequency of adverse events reported in surgical centers and analyze the content of the reports made.

methodsa cross-sectional study analyzed reports from January 2019 to March 2023 in eight hospitals, with a sample of 163 reports. The quantitative analysis considered variables such as type and degree of damage, while the qualitative analysis used similarity analysis in Iramuteq.

resultssixteen never events were identified, including pressure injuries (stages three and four), loss of biopsy material, incorrect surgical procedures, and unintentional retention of a foreign body. The qualitative analysis highlighted terms such as "failures in care", "failure", "surgical procedure", and "pressure injury".

conclusionspressure injuries, burns, organ damage, and surgical site infection were the most frequent reports. There is underreporting of adverse events in surgical centers and limitations in the quality of records, including unspecified adverse events and lack of standardization in reporting.
