The outcome of prolonged postoperative antibiotics on wound healing in orthognathic surgery: A meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International wound journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the outcome of prolonged postoperative antibiotics (PA) on wound healing in orthognathic surgery (OS). A systematic literature search up to January 2023 was performed and 1021 related studies were evaluated. The chosen studies comprised 1057 OS subjects who participated in the selected studies' baseline, 446 of them used short-term PA, and 611 used long-term PA. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the effect of prolonged PA on wound infection after OS by the dichotomous methods with a random or fixed effect model. The short-term PA resulted in significantly higher wound infection (OR, 4.27; 95% CI, 2.97-6.14, P < 0.001) with low heterogeneity (I
