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

Despite advancements in surgical care, surgical site infections (SSIs) continue to contribute significantly to postoperative morbidity. Hence, we evaluated 150 surgical cases over six months at a tertiary care center to assess SSI prevalence and intraoperative sterile practice adherence. An overall SSI rate of 12.7% was noted, predominantly in gastrointestinal and emergency surgeries. Key contributing factors included prolonged operation time, inadequate sterilization, and poor adherence to sterile protocols. The findings underscore the need for stringent infection control practices to reduce SSIs and improve surgical outcomes.
