1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) is defined as the administration of an antimicrobial agent prior to contamination in previously sterile spaces and fluid. SAP should not be confused with the therapeutic use of antibiotics. There are a growing number of studies with the goal of answering the question which patients benefit most from SAP during which specific surgical procedure. However, in the specific surgical field of head and neck surgery and otolaryngological surgery, there are only a few guidelines answering that question for specific procedures. The aim of this study was to analyze the evidence found in the literature and to develop a standard operating procedure, which specifically addresses head and neck and otolaryngeal surgical procedures.
