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

Surgical site infections (SSIs) occur in 10-15% of patients and are linked to up to 29% of delays in starting adjuvant treatment. This study assessed the association between SSIs in patients with ovarian and uterine cancer and their impact on time to adjuvant therapy and oncologic outcomes. Patients who underwent surgery from 1 January 2015 to 30 September 2017 were included, using institutional National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) data and chart reviews. Among 371 patients (median follow-up 4.1 years), 243 (65.5%) received adjuvant treatment. The median time to start was 39 days for chemotherapy, 61 days for radiotherapy, and 42 days for combined therapy (
