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
Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) is a key component of infection prevention in trauma surgery and orthopedics. The new German S3 guidelines recommend a single-shot PAP dose for most procedures, particularly joint arthroplasty, osteosynthesis of closed fractures and other elective operations. Open fractures require pre-emptive antibiotic treatment for a maximum of 24 h in type I and type II fractures and for a maximum of 72 h in type III open fractures. Patients with an open distal phalanx fracture of the finger should not receive PAP. In knee arthroscopy PAP is recommended when foreign material is implanted or when cartilage or bone procedures are performed. In shoulder arthroscopy PAP is generally recommended. In spinal surgery PAP is recommended irrespective of instrumentation. The standard is cefazolin 2 g i.v. or cefuroxime 1.5 g i.v., administered approximately 30 min before skin incision. Prolonged antibiotic administration should be avoided.
