Evaluation of Current Perioperative Antimicrobial Regimens for the Prevention of Surgical Site Infections in Breast Implant-based Reconstructive Surgeries.

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
Several steps to reduce the rate of postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) have been implemented. The use of prophylactic antimicrobials targeting patient's microbial flora has been associated with a decrease in postoperative infections. We evaluated the relationship between perioperative antimicrobials, baseline microbial flora, and occurrence of SSIs.
methodsWe prospectively enrolled 241 patients scheduled to receive a postmastectomy implant-based reconstructive procedure between September 2015 and January 2018. Axillary swab cultures were obtained preoperatively, and all recovered bacteria were identified. Surgeons were blinded to these results. The use of prophylactic perioperative antimicrobials was defined as concordant if the baseline axillary flora were susceptible to the given antibiotic and discordant if not. As
resultsA total of 238 patients (99%) received both perioperative and postoperative oral antimicrobials. The most common preoperative staphylococci axillary flora recovered were methicillin-sensitive coagulase-negative
