Risk factors and predictive model for early surgical site infection following single-level PLIF in diabetic patients.

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
Objective: This study aims to investigate the predictive value of postoperative serum biomarkers for early surgical site infection (SSI) following single-level posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in diabetic patients, and to construct an infection risk prediction model based on key indicators. The goal is to provide a theoretical basis and tool support for precise clinical prevention and control. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1,680 diabetic patients who underwent single-level PLIF in our Hospital, from January 2011 to December 2024. Among these, 165 patients developed early SSI. Univariate analysis was performed using-Whitney Results: Univariate analysis revealed that patients in the infection group had significantly higher postoperative day 3 fasting blood glucose (FPG pod3: 17.18 vs. 14.13 mmol/L), C-reactive protein (CRP pod3: 281.70 vs. 111.17 mg/L), white blood cell count (WBC pod3: 41.28 vs. 16.90 × 10 Conclusion: Postoperative day 3 serum inflammatory markers (e.g., CRP, WBC) have high predictive value in identifying early SSI in diabetic patients undergoing single-level PLIF. The prediction model constructed based on these markers performs excellently in terms of accuracy, stability, and clinical utility, making it an effective tool for early identification of high-risk infection patients and providing scientific evidence for individualized postoperative management strategies and interventions.
