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

purposeCandida spp. cause opportunistic infections in conditions of immunodeficiency. Here, we investigated the relationship between colonization of the gastric juice by Candida spp. and surgical site infection (SSI) in hepatectomy.

methodsConsecutive hepatectomy cases between November 2019 and April 2021 were enrolled. Gastric juice samples (collected intraoperatively through a nasogastric tube) were cultured. We compared factors related to patient background, blood test findings, surgical findings, and postoperative complications between the Candida + group (positive for colonization of the gastric juice by Candida spp.) and the Candida - group (negative). In addition, we identified the factors that contribute to SSI.

resultsThere were 29 and 71 patients in the Candida + and Candida - groups, respectively. The Candida + group was significantly older (average age: Candida + 74 years vs. Candida - 69 years; p = 0.02) and contained more patients negative for the hepatitis B and C virus (Candida + 93% vs. Candida - 69%; p = 0.02). SSI was significantly more common in the Candida + group (Candida + 31% vs. Candida - 9%; p = 0.01). Postoperative bile leakage and colonization of the gastric juice by Candida spp. were independent predictors of SSI.

conclusionColonization of the gastric juice by Candida spp. is a risk factor for SSI after hepatectomy.
