Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Neuroendovascular Procedures: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2026. 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
purpose of reviewInfection after neuroendovascular procedures is rare, yet practice around antibiotic prophylaxis varies widely. This review appraises evidence regarding prophylactic antibiotics in diagnostic cerebral angiography and therapeutic neuroendovascular interventions, compares practice patterns with interventional radiology and interventional cardiology, and summarizes major society guidelines. RECENT
findingsAcross published series totaling approximately 30,000 neuroendovascular procedures, infection rates ranged from 0 to 0.4%, with no measurable difference between procedures performed with or without prophylactic antibiotics. Infections were predominantly minor and limited to access sites. Comparative data from interventional cardiology and interventional radiology show similarly low infection rates. Professional guidelines uniformly discourage routine antibiotic prophylaxis in clean vascular procedures as well as diagnostic angiography, recommending selective use only in clearly defined high-risk patients. Routine pre-procedural antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended for diagnostic cerebral angiography or for most clean therapeutic neuroendovascular procedures (including coiling/stenting/flow diversion) in the absence of specific high-risk features. Selective prophylaxis may be considered for clearly high-risk patients or situations.
