Global View of Clinical Guidelines on Prevention of Surgical Site Infections for Health Care Professionals: A Scoping Review.
Review in Rwanda journal of medicine and health sciences, 2023. 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
Background: Even though there may be clinical guidelines for surgical site infections prevention, no review has been conducted on them. Therefore, a scoping review was undertaken to map and synthesize the available surgical site infections prevention guidelines. Methodology: A scoping review methodology as defined by the Joanna Briggs institute was conducted. Eligible English and French published articles with guidelines were identified from data bases, search engines, and websites of professional organizations. The Search terms included: "health care professionals AND guidelines for surgical site infections prevention OR clinical practice guidelines". First level selection was based on title and abstract while full text for second level. Results: Out of the 106 articles with guidelines, 7 were selected for the period 1999 to 2021. Four showed methods used to formulate guidelines. Five guidelines comprised recommendations for surgical site infections prevention for pre, intra and post-operative phases. WHO guideline appeared to be robust as it contained all the characteristics. Conclusion: Of all the guidelines identified, the WHO guideline indicated population used to develop guidelines; method used and set recommendations, validation including all phases of surgical management. Hence, a recommendation to adapt WHO guideline to health care settings of low resources countries like Rwanda.
