1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHealthcare-associated infections (HAIs) represent the most common adverse event among hospitalized patients. The aim of this study was to assess Surgical Site Infection (SSI) incidence in hysterectomies, and the related risk factors. MATERIALS AND

methodsA prospective cohort study on patients undergoing abdominal or vaginal hysterectomy was carried out. We assessed the incidence of SSIs according to CDC/NHSN criteria. Patients' demographic and clinical characteristics were described. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to find independently associated risk factors for SSI. The association between risk factors and SSI incidence was assessed by reference to the adjusted odds ratio (OR).

resultsThe study covered a total of 1,154 women who underwent abdominal (47.7%) or vaginal (52.3%) hysterectomy. Patients' overall mean age was 54.7 years (SD=13.2). Overall SSI incidence at the end of follow-up was 2.5% (n=29), 1.9% in abdominal hysterectomies and 3.4% in vaginal hysterectomies (p>0.05). We found diabetes mellitus (OR: 2.9, 95% CI: 1.1-8.0, p=0.04) and cancer (OR: 3.7, 95% CI: 1.4-9.6, p=0.007) independently associated with SSI incidence.

conclusionsVaginal hysterectomies accounted for 52.3%. Global incidence of SSI reached 2.5% and was in the lowest rank of the published evidence. Diabetes mellitus and cancer were risk factors related to SSIs.
