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.

aimTo investigate the effect of surgical care bundle on post-cesarean wound infection.

designThe research design was quasi-experimental. SETTINGS: The study was conducted at the obstetrics and gynecology departments of University Hospital and Shebin El-Kom Teaching Hospitals, Menoufia Governorate, Egypt. SAMPLE: A sample of one hundred women was chosen as convenient for the study. INSTRUMENTS: A structured interview questionnaire and surgical checklist were utilized.

resultsThe results showed that 100% of the intervention group had healthy wound status after 48 h compared to 80.0% of the control group.
