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

Objective: To evaluate whether vulvar re-antisepsis before carbon dioxide (CO Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study included 98 women who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy between November 25, 2025, and March 1, 2026. All patients received routine preoperative abdominal and vulvovaginal preparation with 10% povidone-iodine. According to routine intraoperative practice and surgeon preference, 53 patients underwent standard antisepsis alone, and 45 received additional vulvar and periurethral re-antisepsis immediately before CO Results: Postoperative UTI occurred in 8 patients (15.1%) in the standard antisepsis group and in 4 patients (8.9%) in the re-antisepsis group (p=0.538). Vulvar re-antisepsis was not associated with postoperative UTI in the exploratory multivariable model [adjusted odds ratio (OR)=0.89, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.19-4.23; p=0.881]. Delayed catheter removal (>6 hours) was associated with postoperative UTI (adjusted OR=12.87, 95% CI: 2.13-77.62; p=0.005). Conclusion: Vulvar re-antisepsis before CO
