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

We aim to investigate the correlation between perioperative blood transfusion and postoperative ileus in patients who have undergone minimally invasive elective colectomy for cancer. This is a retrospective study using the 2016-2020 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database. Patients with colon cancer who underwent elective laparoscopic or robotic colectomy were selected. Perioperative transfusion was defined as receiving one or more units of whole/packed RBCs within 72 h of onset of operation. Using multivariable logistic regression with backward elimination, comorbidities, and intraoperative and postoperative variables were analyzed to identify risk factors for postoperative ileus. 48,728 patients were included with a mean age of 64.7 years, 52.3% were males, and a mean BMI of 28.8 kg/m
