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

Infection to the meningeal layer causing meningitis is one of the most feared complications of spinal anaesthesia. Anaesthetists will avoid spinal anaesthesia for those who are having skin infection at the puncture site. However in obstetric population, anaesthetist will try their best to avoid general anaesthesia due to its unwanted effects and complications. Strict and appropriate antiseptic measures such as chlorhexidine 0.5% with 70% alcohol has been suggested to reduce risk of transmission of microorganisms into subarachnoid space. We reported a parturient who had generalized tinea versicolor at the lumbar area, safely anaesthetized under spinal anaesthesia through meticulous antiseptic skin preparation who required delivery by caesarean section.
