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

objectiveIn acute and chronic infections of soft tissue, a radical surgical debridement is necessary, and is regarded as the 'Gold Standard, as well as an immediately systemic antibiotic therapy. Additional treatment with local antibiotics and/or antibiotic-containing materials is commonly used in clinical settings, but the efficient concentration of the antibiotic is not well-known.

methodsAside from the typical procedures which are provided and supported by the industry, we have conducted an animal study including 39 Sprague Dawley rats. We have treated the back sores with local antibiotics (vancomycin) alone or in two combinations with a fibrin-glue spray technique.

resultsIt could be demonstrated that, in particular, the simultaneous application of vancomycin and fibrin leads to a stable antibiotic concentration and a long period of time wherein the antibiotic substance remains in the tissue.

conclusionsThis easy and inexpensive method of application can be a promising factor for the clinical improvement of local antibiotic therapy.
