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

retractionX. Chang and Y. Hu, "Effect of Possible Risk Factors for Pharyngocutaneous Fistula after Total Laryngectomy of Laryngeal Carcinomas and Surgical Wound Infection: A Meta-Analysis," International Wound Journal 20, no. 7 (2023): 2664-2672, https://doi.org/10.1111/iwj.14140. The above article, published online on 26 May 2023 in Wiley Online Library (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor in Chief, Professor Keith Harding; and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. An investigation by the publisher found that the Methods section lacked appropriate detail and thus was not reproducible. In Section 2.1 Reference 5 was found to be irrelevant and did not support the statements regarding eligibility criteria. Additionally, the article states that they have performed a sensitivity analysis in Section 2.8, but the article does not include a sensitivity analysis. Additionally, the review found that the article contained significant textual overlap in the methods section between this article and other articles by different authors [1-3]. The authors responded to an inquiry by the publisher, but they were not able to provide a response to these concerns. As such, the retraction has been agreed to because the methodology contains missing information and is not reproducible. The authors stated that they agree to the retraction voluntarily.
