Strategies to Prevent Surgical Site Infections in Orthopaedic Surgery: A Literature Review.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a significant cause of excess expenditure and increased morbidity and mortality when considered in the context of orthopaedic surgery, with patients often facing prolonged inpatient stays and multiple revision procedures to address this. SSIs, though not completely avoidable, can be mitigated through a variety of pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative strategies. This literature review aims to offer an oversight of established processes to reduce SSIs, as well as identify other measures with the potential to do this also.
