Risk factors for surgical site infections following microwave ablation of the uterus: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeAs microwave ablation (MWA) becomes an increasingly popular treatment for gynecological diseases, complications such as surgical site infections (SSIs) have emerged as critical concerns, particularly in high-risk patient populations. Identifying independent risk factors for SSIs is essential to implement effective preventive measures and enhance patient outcomes.
methodsThis retrospective study included women aged 18-55 with a diagnosis of uterine myoma or adenomyosis who underwent MWA at the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China between December 2020 and November 2023. Patient selection criteria included undergoing laparoscopic MWA by our team and providing written informed consent. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to assess the normality of continuous variables, and statistical analyses were performed using the Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test. Multivariate logistic regression identified potential predictors for SSIs.
resultsIn this study, SSIs were observed in 7.58% of patients, with prolonged surgical duration and abdominal adhesions identified as significant independent risk factors.
conclusionThis study provides insights into SSIs following MWA surgery in a Chinese population, highlighting specific risk factors that could inform preventive strategies to improve surgical outcomes and patient safety.
