1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is associated with a low but measurable risk of surgical-site infection (SSI), with rates of 1-3% when antibiotics are withheld. This review evaluates randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and meta-analyses published through June 2024 to assess the benefits and risks of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis in low-risk patients. Evidence indicates that single- or multiple-dose regimens, most commonly cefazolin, reduce superficial SSI by 33-39% (relative risk 0.61-0.67;
