Associated measures to antibiotic prophylaxis in urology.
Review in World journal of urology, 2020. 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
purposeUrinary tract infections are amongst the most frequent nosocomial infections followed by surgical site infections (SSI). Antibiotic prophylaxis is only one way to reduce the risk of post-operative infection. Our aim was to establish a review of the literature on measures to reduce post-operative infections outside antibiotic prophylaxis.
methodsWe performed a review of the literature in February 2019 using Medline database to identify relevant studies published in the last 10 years. We arbitrarily decided to fix our limit to the 10 last years considering that the resistance rate of bacteria to antibiotics and the surgical technics evolve over time. This search identified 229 studies. We included 53 studies selected upon the title or the abstract.
resultsForty-four studies were finally included. We evaluated the efficacy to prevent SSI by skin antisepsis, surgical hand hygiene and technique, type of surgeons' caps, preservation of normothermia, hair removal, increased oxygen delivery, wound protectors, bathing, normoglycemia and immunonutrition.
conclusionsAntibiotic prophylaxis represents one way to prevent SSI but various other measures should be known and considered by anesthesiologists and surgeons. Some measures to reduce post-operative infections are not clearly established yet and more studies are needed.
