Risk Factors for Postoperative Infections in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Patients Undergoing Emergency Craniotomy.

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 and Aim: Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients undergoing emergency craniotomy are at high risk of postoperative infections. This study aims to identify the risk factors associated with these infections to improve patient outcomes. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 312 severe TBI patients who underwent emergency craniotomy at Brain Hospital of Hunan Province between December 2019 and December 2021. Clinical data were collected, and both univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for postoperative infections. Results: Among the 312 patients, 57 (18.3%) developed postoperative infections. Multivariate analysis identified several significant risk factors, including older age (OR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.23-2.49), prolonged surgery duration (OR=2.01, 95% CI: 1.38-2.92), presence of preoperative infection (OR=2.59, 95% CI: 1.64-4.09), and lower Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score on admission (OR=1.82, 95% CI: 1.21-2.74). Conclusion: Identifying patients at high risk for postoperative infections can help guide preventive measures and improve outcomes in severe TBI patients undergoing emergency craniotomy.
