Strategies to prevent surgical site infections in acute care hospitals: 2014 update.
Article in Infection control and hospital epidemiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 264 papers, 17 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.
The Effect of Timing of Removal of Wound Dressing on Surgical Site Infection Rate After Cesarean Delivery
Randomized Controlled Trial to Reduce Surgical Site Infections in Breast Cancer Surgery With Clorhexidine Gluconate Securement Dressing (Tegaderm CHG)
Randomized, Multicentric, Double-blind, Controlled Trial of Parallel Groups to Evaluate the Non-inferiority of a Postoperative Diet With an Oligomeric-hyperprotein-normocaloric Versus Imunonutrients After Surgery for Colorectal Cancer.
