Microbiological Profile and Outcome of Surgical Site Infections Following Orthopedic Surgeries in a Tertiary Care Hospital.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are one of the most common adverse events that occur in hospitalized patients undergoing surgical procedures or in outpatient surgical measures, regardless of the advances in preventive procedures. SSI may lead to disastrous consequences in orthopedic practice as it may involve the joints and bones and is extremely difficult to get rid of the infection. The present study was designed to evaluate the rates, risk factors, microbiological profiles, and outcomes of SSIs following orthopedic procedures in patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Eastern India during the study period of September 2022 to March 2024. A total of 1327 patients who underwent orthopedic surgeries were followed up for the development of SSI, among whom 105 (7.9%) developed SSI, making an incidence rate of 7.9%. The incidence of SSI in different surgeries was 9.5% (34/359) in closed reduction with fixation, 8.5% (65/766) in open reduction with internal fixation, 4.4% (3/69) in hip arthroplasty, and 2.3% (3/133) in knee arthroplasty. Maximum (27.6%) patients having SSI were of the age group of 20-29 years, and 87.62% were males. The habit of smoking was found to be highly statistically significant. The common gram-positive organisms isolated were
