Clinical risk factors for postoperative infection in adult cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass: a retrospective study.
Article in Infection prevention in practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Postoperative infection remains a serious problem for patients undergoing open-heart surgery and is associated with poor prognosis and mortality. Aim: To determine the incidence, characteristics and associated risk factors for nosocomial infections in adult cardiac surgery patients and to develop a nomogram prediction model. Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from patients who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at a tertiary hospital in 2023. Patients were divided into an infected group ( Results: Of the 1584 patients, 130 (8.21%) developed postoperative infections (infection group). Lower respiratory tract was the most common site of infection ( Conclusion: A nomogram has been developed to predict postoperative infection via commonly available data. This tool could assist clinicians in optimising the perioperative care of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB, but further external validation is needed.
