Surgical Site Infection after Primary Open Surgery for Laryngeal Cancer in a Tertiary Hospital in Belgrade, Serbia: A 10-Year Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 site infection (SSI) in laryngeal cancer (LC) patients significantly increases morbidity and may postpone adjuvant therapy. Additionally, SSI can prolong hospitalization, thus representing a burden for the healthcare system. Most of the published studies refer to SSI after salvage laryngectomy.
methodsThe present prospective cohort study aimed to clarify the incidence and factors associated with SSI in patients after primary open surgery for LC. Through regular hospital surveillance of patients who underwent primary partial or total laryngectomy, we gathered 24 putative factors and identified SSI from 2013 to 2022. Patients with SSI were compared with patients without SSI.
resultsSSI was observed in 21 (6.6%) of 319 patients. ULRA showed that the occurrence of SSI was significantly associated with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, other postoperative healthcare-associated (HAI) infection, T classification, N classification, advanced clinical stage (III-IV), length of stay (LOS), duration of drainage, and the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) risk index. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified two independent factors associated with SSI occurring in these patients: duration of drainage (RR (relative risk) 1.593; 95% CI 1.159-2.189;
conclusionsOur study provided insight into the burden of SSI in LC patients, highlighting several priority areas and targets for quality improvement.
