Systematic review of risk prediction models for surgical site infection after abdominal surgery in adults.
Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 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
Objective: To systematically review risk prediction models for surgical site infection (SSI) after abdominal surgery and to provide a reference for clinical risk management. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Sinomed, Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Data for studies published from January 1, 1980, to August 12, 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias and applicability of the models. Results: A total of 25 studies were included, involving 28 SSI risk prediction models after abdominal surgery. Among them, 25 models showed good predictive performance (AUC > 0.7), but all studies exhibited a high risk of bias. The most frequently included predictors were surgical duration, diabetes, BMI (body mass index), serum albumin levels, ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status score, age, intraoperative blood loss, wound classification, and open surgery. Conclusion: Risk prediction models for SSI after abdominal surgery are still in the developmental stage. Future studies should emphasize model construction and validation to improve their clinical utility and generalizability.
