Surgical site infections and sepsis in gynecological surgery.
Review in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Despite advancements in infection control, surgical site infections (SSIs) and postoperative sepsis remain significant challenges in gynecological surgery, contributing to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. In low-income countries, circulatory failure due to septic shock leads to most deaths after surgery, with sepsis accounting for almost two-thirds. This review provides a comprehensive update on the global incidence, risk factors, pathogenesis, and preventive strategies for sepsis and SSIs in gynecological procedures. Utilizing a search of PubMed and Web of Science, recent evidence highlights the complex interplay of microbial, patient-specific, and procedural factors influencing infection risk. Key findings underscore the importance of modifiable risk factors, including diabetes, obesity, and anemia, as well as the role of the vaginal microbiota in postoperative infections. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, including targeted antibiotic prophylaxis, optimal skin preparation, and perioperative glycemic control, have shown efficacy in reducing SSIs and associated complications. This review emphasizes the critical need for tailored infection prevention strategies to mitigate the burden of sepsis in gynecological practice.
