Evaluation of 4 Presurgical Skin Preparation Methods in Mice.
Article in Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science : JAALAS, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Mice routinely undergo surgical procedures for use in research; however, studies of skin preparation methods to achieve antisepsis are rare. The present study evaluated 4 skin preparation treatments: depilatory agent followed by povidone-iodine and alcohol scrub; depilatory agent followed by povidone-iodine and saline scrub; electric clippers followed by povidone-iodine and alcohol scrub; and electric clippers followed by povidone-iodine and saline scrub. Swabs for bacterial culture were obtained immediately after hair removal and after scrubbing to measure the reduction in bacterial load. Full-thickness incisions were assigned ASEPSIS wound scores and examined histologically on days 0, 1, and 7 after surgery. Neither bacterial load growth nor ASEPSIS wound scores differed among any of the treatments. Histopathology revealed statistically significant but biologically irrelevant differences. Overall all treatment methods achieved acceptable bacterial load reduction and surgical site healing.
