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

backgroundThe use of drainage systems in dermatosurgery has so far been carried out without evidence-based data. The indications, complications and contraindications are traditionally passed on from surgeon to surgeon but have so far not been defined.

methodAn Internet-based survey was created and sent out to members of the German Society for Dermatosurgery (DGDC). The questions were on the general treatment approach in German language countries with reference to the use of wound drainage following dermatological operations as well as the utilization habits and experiences with drainage-associated complications.

resultsOf the DGDC members contacted 12.73% completed the questionnaire. Drainages were predominantly used in the clinical environment and all drainage systems in question were used. The extent and complexity of the intervention were essential criteria when evaluating the indications. The use of drainages was dependent on the age of the participant and mostly carried out in patients where complications in the postoperative course were to be expected (e.g. obesity, nicotine use, diabetes).

conclusionIn summary, the majority of the participants used wound drainages and mostly intuitively. Uniform and fixed evidence-based parameters for the use of wound drainages are lacking. In the assessment of the necessity for a wound drainage, an individually expressed need of safety seems to play a large role for some dermatosurgeons and an eminence-based action for others.
