Incidence and influencing factors of surgical site infection in patients with oral cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Background: The incidence and influencing factors of surgical site infection(SSI) in oral cancer were investigated through meta-analysis. Methods: The search was conducted from inception until April 2024 in databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library using a combination of subject terms and keywords. Observational studies (cohort and case-control) investigating the incidence and influencing factors of SSI in patients with oral cancer were included for data collection. Quality assessment was performed, followed by extraction and analysis of valid data using Stata 17.0 software. Results: The pooled incidence of SSI was 29% (95% CI: 25%-33%) with substantial heterogeneity. Factors associated with SSI included radiotherapy, mandibulectomy, diabetes, ASA classification, operative time, reconstructive surgery, transfusion, neck dissection, and albumin. Conclusion: These factors were associated with SSI in oral cancer patients and may help identify high-risk individuals.
