1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Suturing is the joining of tissues with needle and thread so that the tissues will bind together and that healing occurs by primary intention with least scarring. Professionals like tailor and cobbler are also involved with suturing. Although both professions are involved with suturing, they are not dealing with live tissue, so there are no problems like poor healing, ischemia and wound edge necrosis. These complications, which are common with live tissue, may finally lead to wound dehiscence and increased risk of surgical site infection, and ugly scar. Every surgeon should be cognizant of principles of wound healing and aesthetics.
