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

Introduction: Perineal wound infection remains a significant complication following abdominoperineal resection (APR), and its associated clinical and financial burden necessitates continued evaluation of modifiable risk factors. This study evaluated surgical and patient-related predictors to inform prevention strategies and postoperative management. Methodology: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 233 consecutive laparoscopic APR procedures performed at a tertiary cancer center between January 2018 and December 2022, examining demographic characteristics, comorbidities, treatment parameters, and operative details. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 for descriptive statistics and univariate analysis. Results: The overall infection rate was 21% (49/233). On univariate analysis, significantly higher rates were observed in males (27.7% vs 7.7% in females, Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that technical factors (surgical approach, operative duration) and biological variables (gender) substantially influence infection risk. Given the significant healthcare burden of these infections, enhanced perioperative strategies and improved understanding of risk profiles are essential to optimize outcomes.
