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

backgroundPerioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) prior to laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is still under debate due to a lack of high evidence. Thus, the study at hand aimed to find out whether this medication lowers the rate of postoperative complications or not.

methodsIn 2020, a retrospective analysis took place at Helios Hospital Berlin Buch, Germany. The data of patients who underwent laparoscopic Roux-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) surgery between December 2019 and December 2020 were consecutively enrolled. Individuals who received a PAP (PAP +) were compared with those who did not receive this medication (PAP -). Primary objective was the rate of postoperative complications.

resultsA total of 494 patients' charts were analyzed. The mean age was 39.7 (± 12.1) years. The body mass index was on average 46.4 (± 6.5) kg/m

conclusionIn LRYGB, with linear anastomosis, PAP did not significantly reduce SSIs or complications, although a potential benefit in high-risk subgroups (e.g., smokers, patients with diabetes, or high BMI) cannot be excluded.
