Preventing Surgical Site Infections: A Narrative Review of Antiseptic Solutions in the Operating Theatre.
Review in Cureus, 2025. 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
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are commonly encountered postoperatively and can lead to devastating effects to the patient in terms of prolonged recovery, extended hospital stay, additional morbidity and possibly mortality. For hospitals, it can increase cost burden, add to the bed crisis and prolong surgical waiting lists. Surgeons and scrub nurses use a variety of antiseptic agents to prepare their hands and patients' skin on the surgical site pre-operatively to help minimise the risk of infections. The objective of this narrative review was to retrieve and create a summary of existing evidence in the literature about the antiseptics used in surgery to prevent surgical site infections and highlight any possible limitations noted in the literature.
