Prophylactic antibiotics in pediatric neurological surgery.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeSurgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) in pediatric neurosurgery has poorly been characterized until now. This review gives an overview on the current literature extracting recommendations and guidelines.
methodsThe current literature on SAP with special forcus on pediatric neurosurgerical procedures was reviewed. Further, available recommendations in online databases were checked. Clean neurosurgical, shunt, and implant surgeries are considered separately.
resultsTo date, evidence-based data on SAP in pediatric neurosurgery remain sparse and there are no standardized approaches to an adequate use of antimicrobial agents for SSI prevention for this age group.
conclusionDue to statistical needs, multi-center surveillance studies are needed for implementing SAP recommendations in pediatric neurosurgery.
