Infection prevention strategies in shoulder surgery: A survey of fellowship-trained shoulder surgeons.
Article in Shoulder & elbow, 2025. 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: Infection is a major complication with modifiable risk factors. We aimed to report current infection control strategies used by fellowship-trained shoulder surgeons. Methods: Members of the Shoulder and Elbow Society of Australia were invited to participate in an anonymous electronic REDCap survey. Data is presented as median(IQR) or n(%). Results: Seventy surgeons with 18 (9-25) years of post-fellowship experience, who performed 250 (150-400) shoulder operations, and 50 (21-79) shoulder replacements annually responded. Conclusions: There is no consensus on infection prevention in shoulder surgery. Most surgeons are compliant with evidence-based guidelines, where they exist. The data we present are not suggestions of treatment, but rather the contemporary opinion of surgeons discussed in the context of the literature as it stands.
