Bacterial surgical site infections: prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and associated risk factors among patients at Bule Hora University Teaching Hospital, Southern Ethiopia.

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
Objectives: Surgical site infections occur within 30 days of an invasive surgical procedure in the parts of the body where the surgery is performed. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and associated risk factors of surgical site infections at Bule Hora University Teaching Hospital, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted with 183 consecutively enrolled participants between 1 January and 30 June 2023. Microbiological identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the organisms isolated from clinical samples were performed aseptically. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analysed using SPSS version 26. Results: The overall prevalence of surgical site infections was 15.8% (95% CI, 10.9-22). The predominant isolate was Conclusions: The prevalence of surgical site infections and multidrug-resistant isolates is higher compared with World Health Organisation reports or previous studies. This finding emphasises the need for routine screening and antimicrobial susceptibility testing to prevent and control site infections.
