1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: This study of surgical site infection (SSI) rates covers 29 International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) member hospitals in 22 cities across the Middle East, including Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia. Methods: Prospective cohort multinational surveillance data were collected through the INICC Surveillance Online System. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/National Healthcare Safety Network (CDC/NHSN) definitions were applied for SSI. Surgical procedures (SPs) were categorized into 12 types according to the International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision (ICD-9) criteria, 9 Results: From 2014 to 2023, we collected data on 304 SSIs associated with 21 322 SPs. Among the 12 observed types of SPs, comparable incidences were noted between the INICC hospitals of the Middle East and CDC/NHSN datasets across six types of SPs: breast, 1.1% vs. 0.9% ( Conclusions: Most SSI rates in this set of hospitals in the Middle East are similar to those of CDC/NHSN. It is recommended to focus on implementing effective interventions to reduce SSI rates for procedures with higher rates.
