Fig. 1
Variation in the use of postoperative antibiotics by centre The graph depicts the variation in the use of postoperative antibiotics versus the rate of recurrence. Circle size is proportionate to the number of participants included by each centre. The P value, generated using a likelihood ratio test, confirms statistically significant variation in the use of postoperative antibiotics at the centre level (see the Methods section).

Variation in the use of local anaesthesia by centre The graph depicts the variation in the use of local anaesthesia versus the rate of recurrence. Circle size is proportionate to the number of participants included by each centre. The P value, generated using a likelihood ratio test, confirms statistically significant variation in the use of local anaesthesia at the centre level (see the Methods section).

Fig. 3
Variation in the use of abscess packing by centre The graph depicts the variation in the use of abscess packing versus the rate of recurrence. Circle size is proportionate to the number of participants included by each centre. The P value, generated using a likelihood ratio test, confirms statistically significant variation in the use of abscess packing at the centre level (see the Methods section).
