Efficacy of different preoperative antiseptics in preventing a risk of surgical site infections: a systematic review and meta‑analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Synthesis in Wideochirurgia i inne techniki maloinwazyjne = Videosurgery and other miniinvasive techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
introductionSurgical site infection (SSI) is a predominant postoperative complication that markedly increases health care expenses. Published systematic reviews, meta‑analyses and international guidelines vary in their recommendations for the most effective preoperative skin antiseptic solutions and their concentrations.
aimThe aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of different preoperative antiseptics for prevent‑ ing the risk of SSIs. MATERIALS AND
methodsA complete search was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases to collect peer‑reviewed articles.
resultsThis meta‑analysis included 10 587 surgical patients from 18 randomized clinical trials to determine the effectiveness of chlorhexidine in alcohol (CHA; 0.5%, 2%-2.5%, and 4%) with aqueous or alcoholic iodine in preventing postoperative SSIs. This meta‑analysis found that 2%-2.5% CHA is the most effective preoperative antiseptic for preventing SSIs, with significant reduction in their incidence and significant antimicrobial activity.
conclusionsThe findings of this meta‑analysis indicate that for patients undergoing any type of surgery, the use of 2%-2.5% CHA for skin preparation is the most effective method for preventing SSIs.
