Risk factors for wound infection after burn plastic surgery.
Article in Medicine, 2026. 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
This study aims to analyze the risk factors for wound infection in patients after burn plastic surgery and explore corresponding intervention measures to provide evidence for reducing infection rates in clinical practice. A retrospective study was conducted on 320 patients who underwent burn plastic surgery at SanTai County People's Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023. Patients were divided into an infection group (86 cases) and a noninfection group (234 cases) based on the occurrence of wound infection postoperatively. Data on age, gender, comorbidities (e.g., diabetes, hypertension), burn type, burn area and depth, surgical duration, antibiotic use, postoperative wound healing status, nutritional status, and lifestyle habits were collected and compared between the 2 groups. Univariate analysis was initially used to screen variables associated with infection, followed by a multivariate logistic regression model to identify independent risk factors for wound infection. The overall infection rate was 26.88%. Univariate analysis indicated that diabetes, surgery duration ≥ 200 minutes, third-degree burns, burn area ≥ 40%, use of 2 or more antibiotics, residual wound presence postoperatively, and malnutrition were significantly different between the 2 groups (P < .05). Multivariate analysis further confirmed that the aforementioned factors were independent risk factors for wound infection after burn plastic surgery, with OR values of 3.571, 2.759, 7.092, 6.775, 3.287, 6.125, and 3.229, respectively, all of which were statistically significant (P < .05). The occurrence of postoperative wound infection is closely associated with multiple factors, particularly diabetes, prolonged surgery duration, deep II-III degree burns, extensive tissue damage, use of multiple antibiotics, incomplete wound healing postoperatively, and malnutrition. Comprehensive perioperative assessment and intervention should be strengthened, and individualized preventive strategies targeting high-risk factors should be developed to reduce infection risk and promote wound healing.
