Risk factors for increased postoperative drainage in patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 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
backgroundThe adverse events and complications caused by blood loss after spinal surgery have attracted increasing amounts of attention. This retrospective study aimed to identify risk factors for postoperative bleeding and develop predictive models.
methodsThis was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent spinal fusion surgery between November 2018 and December 2019. Preoperative data were collected, and LASSO regression and multifactor regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for increased postoperative blood loss. Using the obtained risk factors, a nomogram model was established. The nomogram was evaluated based on the concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), and calibration curve analysis.
resultsA total of 434 patients who underwent spinal surgery were included in the study. LASSO regression analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age, cardiovascular disease status, fusion level, use of neuromuscular blockers, peak pressure of mechanical ventilation, and intraoperative blood loss were related to the amount of postoperative drainage. Based on these six risk factors, we developed a nomogram with a C-index of 0.807. The areas under the curve (AUCs) in the training group and the verification group were 0.8155 and 0.7529, respectively, indicating that the established model had good predictive performance. There was good agreement in the calibration curve, and the clinical decision curve showed a significant net benefit after the intervention.
conclusionsWe developed a nomogram model through retrospective analysis, enabling clinicians to predict the likelihood of postoperative blood loss based on risk factors. The risk factors for increased drainage volume after spinal fusion surgery include age, cardiovascular disease status, fusion level, use of neuromuscular blockers, peak pressure of mechanical ventilation, and intraoperative blood loss.
