Risk factors of abdominal abscess after laparoscopic appendectomy.
Article in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundTo explore the risk factors of intra-abdominal abscess (IAA) after laparoscopic appendectomy (LA).
methodsA total of 839 patients who underwent LA in Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital from July 2021 to November 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, and their clinical data were collected. Through univariate and multivariate analysis, the risk factors affecting the formation of IAA after operation were screened, and the predictive efficacy was evaluated by ROC curve.
resultsAfter screening, there were 25 cases with IAA after operation, 741 cases were cured and 73 cases were excluded. Multivariate analysis showed that appendix perforation (OR = 4.763, 95%CI: 1.827 ~ 12.414, P = 0.001) and operative time (OR = 1.024, 95%CI: 1.002 ~ 1.046, P = 0.029) were related to the formation of IAA after operation. The area under ROC curve (AUC) of appendix perforation was 0.623, and the operative time was 0.683.
conclusionFor patients with LA, perforation of appendix and longer operative time are independent risk factors for the formation of IAA after operation, which can help predict whether IAA will occur after operation.
