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

backgroundVarious tubes may be fixed to the skin by ligation using silk sutures after gastrointestinal surgery. We investigated the effects of a skin substitute, "Nonaht®," on pain and skin inflammation at the fixation sites of various tubes.

methodsThe effects of tubes (abdominal drains, small intestinal feeding tubes, and bile duct drainage tubes) fixed in place using either silk sutures or Nonaht were compared for 1-3 months.

resultsThe median pain scores at the fixation site when abdominal drains were removed were 1.0 with silk sutures and 0 with Nonaht (p < 0.001). Scarring at the fixation site at postoperative month (POM) 1 occurred in 13 of 28 cases in the silk suture group and in no cases in the Nonaht group (p < 0.001). The median pain scores at the fixation site with long-term tubes on postoperative day (POD) 14 and POM 1 were 2.0 and 1.0, respectively, with silk sutures, and none at all time points with Nonaht (p < 0.001). Scarring at the fixation site at POM 3 occurred in all 10 cases in the silk suture group and in no cases in the Nonaht group (p < 0.001).

conclusionsPatients with conventional skin fixation of tubes using silk sutures were continuously aware of pain at the fixation site and developed skin damage and subsequent scar formation, especially for tubes inserted for ≥ 1 month. The use of Nonaht may reduce the incidence of dermatitis and wound infections at tube fixation sites, thereby promoting early postoperative recovery.
