Infectious morbidity after cesarean delivery: 10 strategies to reduce risk.
Article in Reviews in obstetrics & gynecology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04163679 (Combining Vaginal Preparation and Azithromycin in Reduction of Post Cesarean Infections), which is not on this map. Cited by 37 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Puerperal infection remains a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. The primary risk factor is cesarean delivery, which increases the risk 5- to 20-fold. This article reviews in detail the risk of puerperal infection following cesarean delivery, both endometritis and surgical site infection, in both high- and low-risk populations. Strategies to prevent such infections are also discussed using a systematic evidence-based approach.
