Elevated fecal calprotectin values appear more common following esophagogastric than colon surgery.

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
Fecal calprotectin (FCAL) is commonly used to exclude inflammatory bowel disease in patients with symptoms of the irritable bowel syndrome spectrum. This retrospective case-control study evaluated FCAL levels in 81 postoperative patients to assess the impact of different gastrointestinal surgeries. Thirty-one patients had undergone esophago-gastric surgery (fundoplication or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass), and 50 had undergone colon surgery with hemicolectomy. Elevated FCAL levels (>50 μg/g) were observed in 56.7% of patients after esophago-gastric surgery compared with 24% of patients after hemicolectomy. Median FCAL levels were 96 μg/g and 99 μg/g, respectively. Statistically significant differences in FCAL levels were found between patients who underwent left-sided hemicolectomy and those who underwent Roux-en-Y bypass (
