Predictors of Complications and Recurrence After Pressure Injury Reconstruction in Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in International wound journal, 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
Spinal cord injury (SCI) predisposes patients to pressure injuries (PIs) often requiring surgery. Multiple factors influence postoperative complications and recurrence, though their associations remain unclear. We performed a PRISMA-guided systematic review and meta-analysis to assess predictors of acute postoperative complications and PI recurrence in SCI patients undergoing surgery. PubMed, Scopus and Embase were searched. Studies with ≥ 15 participants were eligible; 24 (n = 2566 subjects) were included, with 15 (n = 1976 subjects) quantitatively synthesized. Risk of bias was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A random-effects model meta-analysis was performed, and odds ratios (OR) were pooled when > 2 studies were available; otherwise, findings were narratively synthesized. Moderate-quality evidence showed prior flap reconstruction increased complication risk (aOR = 4.98). Low-quality evidence linked diabetes (OR = 1.39) and smoking (OR = 1.35) with complications. Higher recurrence risk was associated with prior flap reconstruction (OR = 1.80) and thoracic injury (OR = 2.21), while cervical injury was protective (OR = 0.37). Prior flap reconstruction resulted as the strongest predictor of complications and significantly increased the odds of recurrence. These findings underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for preventing the first occurrence of flap reconstruction and subsequent procedures.
