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

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) significantly affect patient outcomes and healthcare costs. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors influencing SSIs among patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery at a tertiary care institute in North India. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 302 elective abdominal surgery patients at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh. Data on demographic, surgical, and perioperative factors were collected, with patients followed up for 30 days postoperatively. Statistical analysis included logistic regression. Results: SSI prevalence was 14.2% (43/302). Significant risk factors included surgery duration >2 h ( Conclusion: SSI prevalence was notable among elective gastroenterological surgeries. Effective perioperative management and improved preoperative practices can potentially reduce SSI incidence.
