Identification of risk factors for surgical site infection after type II and type III tibial pilon fracture surgery.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundHigh-energy tibial pilon fractures are complex and severe fractures that are associated with a high risk of infection following open reduction and internal fixation. Infection can negatively impact patient outcomes.
aimTo compare risk factors for postoperative infection after open reduction and internal fixation for a pilon fracture.
methodsAmong the 137 patients included, 67 developed a surgical site infection. Demographic, clinical, and surgical factors were compared between the two groups. A binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine the odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95%CI for significant risk factors for postoperative infection.
resultsThe distribution of pathogenic bacteria among the 67 patients who developed a surgical site infection was as follows: Gram-positive, 58.2% (
conclusionInfection prevention for patients with a Ruedi-Allgower fracture type III, surgical incision type III, wound contamination, and diabetes lowers the postoperative infection risk after surgical management of tibial pilon fractures.
