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

Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most severe complications of colon carcinoma surgery. This study aims to investigate the related factors of AL and evaluate the independent risk factors in predicting AL after one-stage resection and primary anastomosis (RPA) for obstructive left colonic carcinoma (OLCC) patients. The demographic and clinical data, intra-operative indexes, pathologic characteristics, and ileocecal valve status shown on CT of the patients with OLCC who submitted to one-stage RPA were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into AL group and no AL group. All indexes of the two groups were compared and the independent risk factors for AL were investigated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to explore the ability of the statistically significant parameters to predict AL. A total of 141 patients (AL group, 15; no AL group, 126) were enrolled. There were no statistical differences in these indexes between the two groups except for BMI (P = 0.001), ALB (P = 0.020), lymphatic metastasis (P = 0.027), and ileocecal valve status (P < 0.001). BMI, ALB, and ileocecal valve status shown on CT were the independent risk factors for AL. A BMI and ALB cutoff value of 22.2 kg/m
