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
BACKGROUND Surgical site infections in patients after abdominal hysterectomy can increase medical expenses and increase the risk of death in patients. This retrospective study from 2 grade A tertiary hospitals in China aimed to evaluate the risk factors for postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) in 188 patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy between September 2013 and June 2021. MATERIAL AND METHODS Of the 188 patients, 94 patients with SSIs were classified into the infected group, and 94 patients without SSIs were classified into the control group. Wound drainage was sampled for bacterial isolation and culture. RESULTS The suspected risk factors for SSIs after abdominal hysterectomy were body mass index, whether the patient had comorbidities of diabetes mellitus, cancer, or hypoproteinemia, surgical wound classification, whether preoperative skin preparation was performed, whether the patient had chemotherapy, length of incision, amount of blood loss during surgery, duration of surgery, necessity of a second surgery, whether a wound drainage tube was inserted, and whether delayed suturing was used in wound. Of them, body mass index (OR=1.133; 95% CI: 1.012~1.266; P=0.029), more than 3 hours of surgery (OR=0.261; 95% CI: 0.108~0.631; P=0.003), and wound drainage tube insertion (OR=0.223; 95% CI: 0.094~0.531; P=0.001) were the independent risk factors. CONCLUSIONS The findings support previous studies and showed that risk factors for SSIs after abdominal hysterectomy included increased patient BMI, increased operation duration, and the number of surgical drainage tubes used.
