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
objectiveTo examine the incidence and risk factors of
methodsA retrospective cohort study of subjects undergoing otolaryngologic surgery was performed using the 2016 to 2021 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP). The incidence of CDI and potential risk factors were assessed.
resultsOne-hundred eighty-five surgical encounters experienced postoperative CDI out of 149 960, with a CDI incidence of 0.12% (8.8 cases per 10,000 patient-days). The greatest number of postoperative CDI was observed in head and neck reconstructive surgeries. On bivariate analysis, risk factors significantly and practically associated with the occurrence of CDI after otolaryngologic surgery were older age and longer operating times. Multiple logistic regression revealed that the CDI rate did not differ among otolaryngology subspecialties but was influenced by age, functional status, and operating times after controlling for relevant confounders.
conclusionsCDI after otolaryngologic surgery is a serious, costly complication with an incidence comparable to the national CDI rate. Knowledge of the preoperative risk factors associated with CDI may aid in the prevention of such infection after otolaryngologic procedures, thus decreasing patient morbidity and healthcare cost.
