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

Background: Surgical site infection prevention and treatment remains a challenge in healthcare settings globally. The routine use of intranasal mupirocin for decolonization has challenges and preoperative intranasal povidone-iodine decolonization is another option. The purpose of this quality improvement study was to assess if a one-time preoperative intranasal povidone-iodine application could reduce the risk of the likelihood of nasal carriage of Methods: Ambulatory Surgery Center patients were enrolled in an intranasal povidone-iodine decolonization quality improvement study as they reported at the pre-operative holding area. Pre-decolonization intranasal samples were collected, followed by intranasal application of povidone-iodine. Patients waited for a minimum of 20 minutes after application before proceeding with surgery. Nasal samples were again collected after surgery. Each sample was tested for Findings: In the 98 patients enrolled, 36% of these patients had intranasal colonization with Conclusion: Intranasal preoperative povidone-iodine is an effective strategy in the decolonization of
