The utility of the subcuticular suture in hepatic resection.

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
aim of the studyDespite recent technical progress and advances in the perioperative management of liver surgery, postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) is still one of the most common complications that extends hospital stays and increases medical expenses following hepatic surgery. MATERIAL AND
methodsFrom 2001 to 2017 a total of 1180 patients who underwent hepatic resection for liver tumours were retrospectively analysed with respect to the predictive factor of superficial incisional SSI, using a propensity score matching by procedure (subcuticular or mattress suture).
resultsThe incidence of superficial and deep incisional SSIs was found to be 7.1% (84/1180). By propensity score matching (PSM), 121 of the 577 subcuticular suture group patients could be matched with 121 of the 603 mattress suture group patients. Multivariate analysis demonstrated wound closure technique as the only independent risk factor that correlated significantly with the occurrence of superficial incisional SSIs (
conclusionsWound closure technique with subcuticular continuous spiral suture using absorbable suture should be considered to minimise the incidence of incisional SSIs. Moreover, wounds should be carefully checked when CRP levels are high on postoperative day 4.
