Shared decision making for perioperative antibiotic use during Mohs micrographic surgery on the lower extremities.
Article in JAAD international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: While there is a higher risk of surgical site infection (SSI) on the lower extremities following Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS), antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) is debated. Objective: To determine the role of shared decision making (SDM) in guiding AP usage during MMS on the lower extremities. Materials and methods: A prospective observational study was conducted whereby patients received a standardized SDM discussion or routine counseling. Patient satisfaction quantified by the shared decision-making questionnaire (SDMQ9) survey, rate of SSI, and rate of AP prescription were recorded. Results: In total, 51 patients were included. While there were less antibiotics prescribed in the treatment group (20% versus 50%, Conclusion: Patient satisfaction scores were higher among the patients who received SDM. While the usage of AP was lower in the SDM group, this did not affect incidence of SSI. This study allows the opportunity to apply SDM in the setting of MMS, which to our knowledge has not yet been attempted in the field of dermatologic surgery.
