Assessment of Current Practices for Perioperative Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Kidney Transplantation in China: Results from a Nationwide Survey.

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: Current guidelines support routine perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) to minimize surgical site infection in kidney transplantation (KT), though data regarding the current practices of PAP is lacking in China. Objective: To survey the routine PAP strategies in KT, and analyze main clinical considerations associated with adjusted antibiotic dosing regimens in different Chinese hospitals. Methods: A nationwide survey was conducted on behalf of the National Alliance of Transplant Pharmacists. An online questionnaire was created via Wen Juan Xing (http://www.wjx.cn) and sent to all pharmacists in the Alliance. Results: Twenty-three pharmacists from different teaching hospitals with Grade IIIA participated in the survey, with a response rate of 46.0%. There were wide differences in routine dosing regimens and clinical considerations. Six strategies were involved in living-donor KT and monotherapy was most often used (80.9%), while combination therapy was most common (69.6%) among the ten strategies in deceased-donor KT. Of fifteen antibiotics submitted in the survey, eight agents were prescribed with different doses and/or frequencies among different hospitals. Only 37.5% and 23.1% of the hospitals would stop PAP within 72 hours in living-donor KT and deceased-donor KT, respectively. Among 28 preset factors, four factors were considered significantly important to decide PAP regimens, and eight factors were considered significantly unimportant (P<0.05). Conclusion: There was wide variability in routine dosing regimens and clinical considerations in PAP decisions in KT. Further investigations are warranted to obtain high-quality evidence and to make PAP in KT more rational.
