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

Effective antibiotic prophylaxis is essential for preventing post-operative infections following gynecological surgery. This prospective randomized study conducted in a tertiary care hospital compared the efficacy of amoxicillin-clavulanate and cefuroxime-metronidazole as preoperative antibiotic regimens. Hence, two hundred women undergoing elective gynecological procedures were evenly divided into two groups: Group A received 1.2 g amoxicillin-clavulanate intravenously, while Group B received 1.5 g cefuroxime plus 500 mg metronidazole before surgical incision. Post-operative outcomes such as surgical site infection, febrile morbidity, urinary tract infections and duration of hospital stay were recorded and analyzed using SPSS, with significance set at p < 0.05. Thus, we show that both antibiotic combinations were equally effective in reducing post-operative infection rates and were well tolerated, supporting their safe use in gynecological surgery and the choice between regimens may depend on factors including hospital antibiotic policy, cost and local microbial resistance patterns.
