Effect of adjunctive prophylactic macrolides used at the caesarean section on endometritis and surgical site wound infection: 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 It has been retracted, and should not be counted.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 2 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
A meta-analysis investigation was executed to measure the outcome of adjunctive prophylactic macrolides (APM) used at caesarean section (CS) on endometritis and surgical site wound infection (SSWI). A comprehensive literature inspection till February 2023 was applied and 1023 interrelated investigations were reviewed. The 10 chosen investigations enclosed 22 676 females with CS were in the chosen investigations' starting point, 14 034 of them were utilising APM, and 8642 were utilising control. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to compute the value of the effect of APM used at CS on endometritis and SSWI by the dichotomous approaches and a fixed or random model. Adjunctive prophylactic macrolides had significantly lower SSWI (OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.34-0.55, P < .001), and endometritis (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.20-0.60, P = .005) compared with those with control in females with CS. Adjunctive prophylactic macrolides had significantly lower SSWI, and endometritis compared with those with control in females with CS. However, care must be exercised when dealing with its values because of the low number of nominated investigations for the meta-analysis.
