[Risk factors for surgical site infection following posterior lumbar intervertebral fusion].

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
objectiveTo analyze the risk factors of surgical site infection (SSI) following posterior lumbar intervertebral fusion.
methodsThis retrospective case-control study was conducted in 2904 patients undergoing posterior lumbar intervertebral fusion from 2011 to 2016. Forty-three patients with SSI within 30 days after the operation served as the case group, and 334 randomly selected patients without infection served as the control group. Age, gender, diabetes, body mass index (BMI), albumin level, multilevel procedures, subcutaneous fat thickness, surgery duration and the percentage of lumbar multifidus muscle fat infiltration were analyzed, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors of SSI.
resultsMultivariate logical regression analysis identified a female gender, subcutaneous fat thickness, multilevel surgery, and lumbar multifidus muscle fat infiltration as significant risk factors for SSI (
conclusionsA female gender, multilevel surgery, subcutaneous fat thickness and fat infiltration in the multifidus muscle are related to SSI following posterior lumbar intervertebral fusion. Fat infiltration in the multifidus muscle was a spine-specific risk factor for SSI independent of BMI.
