Hemostatic net in rhytidoplasty: an efficient and safe method for preventing hematoma in 405 consecutive patients.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHematoma is the most common postoperative complication of rhytidoplasty, resulting in higher morbidity and longer recovery. Quilting suture for closure of the undermined area in abdominoplasty avoids the occurrence of seroma. Based on this principle and with the objective of reducing the number of patients with hematomas in rhytidoplasty, a similar surgical tactic was developed in which a hemostatic net is created with a running transfixing suture of 5-0 nylon encompassing the skin and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system-platysma.
methodsThe study enrolled 525 consecutive patients who underwent rhytidoplasty between July 2009 and February 2013. The first 120 patients (group A) were evaluated retrospectively and considered control subjects. The remaining 405 patients (group B) had application of the described tactic, with data collected prospectively. The occurrence of hematoma, ischemia, and necrosis was observed during the first 72 h after surgery.
resultsControl group A included 17 patients with hematoma (14.2 %) during the first 72 h, whereas no patient in group B experienced such a complication (p < 0.001). The surgical tactic did not significantly increase the occurrence of ischemia. This complication was experienced by 11 patients in group A (9.2 %) and 26 patients in group B (6.4 %) (p = 0.408). The tactic also did not change the incidence of necrosis, which was present in three group A patients (2.5 %) and six group B patients (1.5 %) (p = 0.723).
conclusionThe hemostatic net is an efficient and safe method for preventing early hematomas in rhytidoplasties.
