The association between platelet indices and deep surgical site infection after open induction internal fixation for traumatic limb fractures.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
objectivesDeep surgical site infection (DSSI) is one of the most serious complications after open induction internal fixation (ORIF) for traumatic limb fractures. In this study, we aimed to investigate the diagnostic role of platelet indices (platelet count [PLT], mean platelet volume [MPV], and platelet distribution width [PDW]) in DSSI. PATIENTS AND
methodsData obtained between January 2011 and December 2017 in The Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from cases (n=29) with DSSI and fracture control subjects (n=29) matched for age, gender, and fracture type were analyzed. The white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil count, neutrophil percentage, and platelet indices from blood samples were compared between case and control groups. In addition, the cutoff value, sensitivity, and specificity were calculated by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
resultsNo significant differences were detected in demographic features, the WBC count, neutrophil count, neutrophil percentage, and MPV values between two groups (
conclusionOur results suggest that PDW combined with PLT can be used as an important additional test for the diagnosis of DSSI after ORIF for traumatic limb fractures, thus reducing the cost and loss of time.
