Risk factors of respiratory tract infection in patients after surgery under general anesthesia and nursing countermeasures.

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
Objectives: We aimed to explore the incidence rate of respiratory tract infection (RTI) in patients after surgery under general anesthesia and to analyze its risk factors and nursing countermeasures. Methods: The clinical data of 136 patients treated from June 2020 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence rate of RTI within 3 d after surgery was recorded. They were divided into an infection group and a non-infection group. The distribution of pathogenic bacteria was observed, and their clinical data. Results: RTI occurred in 16 of 136 cases (11.76%) after surgery under general anesthesia. Eighteen strains of pathogenic bacteria were cultured from these 16 cases, including Gram-negative bacteria in 13 cases (72.22%), Gram-positive bacteria in 4 cases (22.22%), and fungi in 1 case (5.56%). In the infection group, the proportions of patients with histories of smoking and lung surgery and orotracheal intubation were higher than those of the non-infection group, and the extubation time was later (P<0.05). History of smoking, orotracheal intubation, delayed extubation, and history of lung surgery were risk factors for RTI after surgery under general anesthesia (OR>1, P<0.05). Conclusion: History of smoking, orotracheal intubation, delayed extubation, and history of lung surgery may increase the risk of RTI after surgery under general anesthesia.
