Comparative evaluation of oral versus intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis prior to obstetric and gynecological procedures.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Surgical site infections (SSI) remain among the most common post-operative complications following gynecological and obstetric surgeries. Pre-operative antibiotic prophylaxis plays a key role in preventing SSIs, with intravenous administration serving as the conventional standard. Recent interest has turned toward oral antibiotic prophylaxis as a more convenient and cost-effective alternative. Hence, this prospective comparative study included 221 women undergoing elective gynecological or obstetric procedures, randomly assigned to receive either oral antibiotics (Group A) or intravenous antibiotics (Group B) prior to surgery. Post-operative outcomes, including surgical site infection, febrile morbidity, urinary tract infection duration and hospital stay, were evaluated. Thus, we show the equivalent efficacy between oral and intravenous prophylaxis in infection prevention, advancing clinical practice by supporting oral antibiotic use as a safe, practical and economical alternative in suitable surgical cases.
