Adherence to infection mitigation strategies for facial dog bite wounds: a retrospective analysis of a level 1 paediatric trauma centre.

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
Dog bites are a frequent cause of paediatric facial injuries and present a significant risk of infection. This retrospective study evaluated adherence to antibiotic and repair guidelines in facial dog bite cases at a level 1 paediatric trauma centre. Among 356 cases, 99.2% received antibiotics; however, only 90.4% received the recommended first-line agent and 12.6% missed the initial dose in the emergency department. Many prescriptions had an incorrect dose or prolonged duration. Paediatric emergency medicine clinicians used fewer layered repairs compared to plastic surgeons. These results highlight variation in both antibiotic prescribing and laceration repairs, suggesting the need for quality improvement in both areas.
