The effectiveness of preoperative colon cleansing on post-operative surgical site infection after hip hemiarthroplasty.
Trial report in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic mechanical bowel preparation in elderly patients undergoing hip hemiarthroplasty in a single training institution over a period of 2 years. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study was conducted in a prospective-randomised manner. All patients, who underwent primary hip hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture in our institution between 20 February 2015 and 29 December 2016, were included. B.T. Enema (sodium dihydrogen phosphate + disodium hydrogen phosphate) 135 ml (Yenisehir Laboratory, Ankara, Turkey) was used for colon cleansing.
resultsNinety-five patients were followed up for at least 1 year after surgery (16.3 ± 4.2 months). Of these, 46 were in the enema group and 49 were in the control group. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were similar in both groups (p > 0.05). Infection rates between the two groups were not significantly different (p > 0.05). In addition, ASA, age, sex, presence of diabetes mellitus, duration of surgery, time to surgery, ambulation status and blood count did not have a significant effect on surgical site infections (p > 0.05). However, all infections in the enema group were monobacterial and were successfully treated, whereas two of the four infections in the control group were polymicrobial and could not be successfully treated.
conclusionAlthough preoperative colon cleansing did not reduce the overall incidence of post-operative infections, our study suggested that it may reduce polymicrobial infections after hip hemiarthroplasty. Polymicrobial infections after hip hemiarthroplasty seem to have worse prognosis. Therefore, the effectiveness of preoperative colon cleansing in remediating such infections must be investigated in a larger number of patients.
