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
Surgical site infections (SSI) are the most frequent nosocomial infection in Germany. They are defined as an infection of the surgical site that occurs within 30 days after a surgical procedure. The diagnostic criteria include localized pain or tenderness, localized swelling, erythema, excess warmth, purulent drainage from the incision and cultural detection of pathogens in an aseptically obtained specimen from the incision. Wound infections are differentiated into superficial incisional (grade 1), deep incisional (grade 2) and infections of organs and body cavities in the region of the operation (grade 3). Risk factors for SSI include anemia, immunosuppression, diabetes mellitus, obesity, smoking and malnutrition. The crucial preoperative preventive measures are antisepsis of the surgical area and antibiotic prophylaxis. Intraoperative subcutaneous wound irrigation with an antiseptic solution reduces SSI in visceral surgery. The primary treatment encompasses the liberal debridement of the wound.
