Oral recipient site infections in reconstructive surgery - impact of the graft itself and the perioperative antibiosis.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesThis study was designed to assess the influence of peri/post-operative antibiotic prophylaxis (POABP) and the reconstructive graft itself on recipient sites infections in head and neck surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 322 consecutive patients with reconstructive surgery were investigated. The primary objective was to analyze the differences of commonly applied reconstructive grafts on the occurrence of oral recipient site infections. Moreover, differences of POABP regimes (namely: ampicillin/sulbactam, 2
resultsThe free radial forearm flap and split-thickness skin graft presented significantly less recipient site infections and shorter length of in-hospital stays (LOS) in comparison to further six reconstructive technique with pedicled tissue transfer or bone transfers. LOS was significantly shorter for patients with ampicillin/sulbactam than with 2
conclusionSmaller tissue transfers are less prone to infections of the recipient site and present low LOS. For an POABP regime, the combination of 2 CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A combination of 2
