Incidence and risk factors for surgical wound complications in women with body mass index >30 kg/m
Article in AJOG global reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundSurgical wound complications are common and occur in between 3% and 12% of obese women after cesarean delivery. An understanding of the risk factors for wound complications may inform potential areas for clinical care improvement.
objectiveThis study aimed to identify the incidence and predictors of surgical wound complications in obese women after cesarean delivery. STUDY
designThis was a secondary analysis of the ADding negative pRESSure to improve healING, or DRESSING, randomized controlled trial conducted at 4 maternity hospitals in Australia. A total of 2035 women with a prepregnancy body mass index ≥30 kg/m
resultsOf the 2035 women, 317 (15.6%) developed a wound complication, whereas 211 (10.4%) developed surgical wound dehiscence. The predictors of a wound complication included 1 previous cesarean delivery (odds ratio, 1.41; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-1.90;
conclusionWound complications and surgical wound dehiscence in this population are high. The predictors observed herein would assist in identifying high-risk women. Such information may guide patient-centered decision-making in the planning of surgical births and individualized postoperative care.
