Complication rate of different wound closures after primary hip arthroplasty - A survey of 373 patients.
Article in Asia-Pacific journal of sports medicine, arthroscopy, rehabilitation and technology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundWound closure is highly associated with wound complications and the best wound closure method was controversial in total hip arthroplasty.
methodsWe performed a retrospective study of primary hip arthroplasty and compared three types of closure method.
results155 cases were closed using continuous subcuticular sutures then with staples, 111 using staples, 141 using interrupted sutures. 28 cases of wound complications occurred. Wound complication rates in subcuticular suture group, staple group and interrupted suture group were 1.9%, 11.7% and 8.5%, respectively (p < 0.01).
conclusionWound complication rate was significantly lower when wound was closed with continuous subcuticular suturue.
