Sonographic Detection of Surgical Site Fluid Collections and Postoperative Maternal Morbidity Following Cesarean Section.

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
introductionSurgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common complications after cesarean and causes much burden on the mother as well as the health care system. SSIs are defined as infections of a surgical site up to 30 days after surgery. Ultrasonography of the surgical site may be a helpful tool to detect its complication. With this background, the following study was planned to evaluate the clinical significance of sonographically detected fluid collections and post-operative maternal morbidity following cesarean section (CS) and identify risk factors associated with their formation.
methodsThis prospective observational study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lala Lajpat Rai Memorial Medical College, Meerut. A total of 1000 women, who had undergone CS were included. Sonographic examination of the cesarean site was done on the 3
conclusionPost-operative fluid collections are common after CS. But it is the pattern of the fluid collection that determines post-operative wound infection and morbidity. Thus ultrasound of the cesarean site may be an important tool to detect surgical site wound complications earlier and to decrease postoperative morbidity.
