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

Postoperative infection rates have been reported to be extremely sensitive to the surgical duration, particularly for orthopedic procedures that often require more extensive time and therefore increased exposure to infectious agents. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the surgical time and infection rate postoperative for 100 patients who had different orthopedic procedures performed. Surgical duration, infection rate and predisposing factors of infection were explored to determine limits where infection is likely to rise. Results suggest that long surgical time is highly significantly related to an increased rate of postoperative infection therefore, efforts to make the operative time optimal are relevant. These findings have enlightened the necessity for optimizing surgical time to enhance orthopedic patient outcomes.
