Comparative Study on the Efficacy of Postsurgical Oral Prophylactic Antibiotic Versus Antimicrobial Suture Placement Alone in Preventing Surgical Site Infection After Removal of Impacted Mandibular Third Molar.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimTo evaluate the efficacy of postsurgical oral prophylactic antibiotic versus antimicrobial suture placement in preventing infection after removal of an impacted mandibular third molar. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a prospective, single-blind study including 150 individuals of 18-40 years divided into two groups with 75 patients each. The patients in Group 1 were administered oral amoxicillin tablets 500 mg for 5 days postsurgery with 3-0 polyglactin sutures for closure and in group 2 with (3-0) antimicrobial chlorhexidine diacetate-impregnated polyglactin sutures only. Evaluation was done on 3rd, 7th, 15th days and 1 month.
resultsThere was no significant difference in rates of infection between the groups. Abnormal erythema, pain and trismus showed statistically better results in group 2 on 3rd and 7th days. An antibiotic side effect assessment showed 17.65% patients with minor side effects.
conclusionChlorhexidine diacetate-impregnated polyglactin sutures showed reduced erythema, pain and trismus in healthy patients undergoing surgical removal of third molar.
