Surgical Site Infection in Coronary Artery Bypass: Observational Study.
Observational study in International journal of nursing practice, 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
backgroundPreventing surgical site infections plays a crucial role in ensuring patient safety during coronary artery bypass grafting. To reduce incidence rates, it is essential to implement evidence-based best practice measures. However, there is a noticeable lack of studies assessing healthcare professionals' adherence to these measures, which justifies the present investigation.
aimThis study aimed to determine adherence to surgical site infection prevention measures, determine the incidence of surgical site infection and examine the relationship between adherence and infections in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
methodsThis was an observational, longitudinal study with a quantitative approach, conducted at a large university hospital, recognized as a regional referral centre for cardiac procedures. A nonprobabilistic recruitment process was employed, and no selection bias was identified. All patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting during the study period from September 2022 to May 2023 were included.
resultsThe mean adherence score to the recommended practices was 71.18%. Among the participants, 24 (55.8%) developed infections, of which 10 (23.3%) required hospital readmission and 3 (7.0%) resulted in death.
conclusionsDespite a relatively high adherence to preventive measures, the incidence of surgical site infections was also significant (55.8%), underscoring the urgent need for more effective prevention strategies in coronary artery bypass grafting.
