Perioperative nursing process-oriented bundled interventions and digital monitoring for the prevention of surgical site infections.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Surgical site infection (SSI) remains a common healthcare-associated infection and is associated with prolonged hospitalization, readmission, increased costs, and adverse clinical outcomes. Because SSI prevention, detection, and management extend across the preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative, and post-discharge phases, SSI can be regarded as a perioperative outcome closely related to nursing assessment, surveillance, education, and continuity of care. This narrative review summarizes current evidence on perioperative SSI prevention from a nursing perspective, with emphasis on nursing process-oriented bundled interventions, digital surveillance, risk-stratified care, and nurse-led implementation strategies. Current evidence suggests that SSI prevention should move beyond isolated measures and be embedded into a continuous nursing pathway. Preoperative care should focus on risk identification, preparation verification, checklist-based checkpoints, and patient education. Intraoperative nursing should emphasize aseptic coordination, environmental control, physiological support, and actionable handover. Postoperative and post-discharge care should strengthen structured wound assessment, incision care, remote follow-up, and timely escalation of abnormalities. Digital tools, including electronic health record-based screening, remote wound monitoring, artificial intelligence-assisted image triage, and digital risk stratification, may extend nursing surveillance, but their effectiveness depends on clearly assigned responsibilities, predefined response timelines, workflow integration, and quality indicators. Nurse-led standardized pathways, stratified education, team training, and audit-feedback mechanisms are essential for translating evidence-based SSI prevention into stable clinical practice. Future research should further evaluate implementation quality, surveillance standardization, external validation of digital tools, cost-effectiveness, patient experience, and multidisciplinary sustainability.
