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

Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) is routinely used in colorectal surgeries to minimize postoperative infections, yet its role is debated. Combining MBP with oral antibiotics (OA) has shown promise in reducing surgical site infections (SSIs) and anastomotic leaks, particularly in high-risk procedures like colorectal cancer surgeries. Our aim was to compare the effectiveness of MBP alone versus MBP with OA in reducing SSIs, anastomotic leaks, and other postoperative complications in elective colorectal surgeries. This quasi-experimental study included 99 patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery from July 2021 to July 2023. Patients were divided into two groups: group A (
