[Postoperative wound infections : Diagnosis, classification and treatment].
Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundSurgical site infections are a frequent complication of surgery and a severe burden for the patient as well as for the healthcare system. Sound knowledge of the disease pattern is an essential prerequisite for effective therapy.
objectiveThis article presents an overview of the diagnosis, classification and treatment options for surgical site infections. MATERIAL AND
methodsBased on the existing experience, the currently available evidence and pathophysiological considerations, an overview of the diagnostic possibilities, the existing classification systems and the treatment options is presented.
resultsThe diagnosis of surgical site infections is based on the clinical symptoms and can particularly be supported by the microbiological analysis of wound samples. There is no validated classification system but the definition of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is most commonly used. After initial bedside processing, debridement and wound cleansing are the basis for the further treatment, which is supplemented by the rational use of antiseptics and antibiotics. The use of modern dressings with the aim of maintaining a physiological moist wound environment promotes wound healing. The negative pressure wound therapy is an available treatment option. Rare diseases need to be considered.
conclusionThe low level of evidence and critical consideration of the treatment options have been discussed in many guidelines, consensus documents and systematic reviews on the basis of which this article was written. Strengthening the evidence situation through intensive, targeted research should be the goal.
