Effects of 5-fluorouracil released from different prosthetic meshes on post-operative adhesion formation in rats.
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivePost-operative adhesion is a common problem in abdominal surgery. Especially, foreign materials are strong stimulus for the development of adhesions. The aim of this study was to investigate whether drug release material coated prosthetic mesh decreases intra-abdominal adhesion formation or not.
methods5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) releasing "chitosan gels" were loaded to polypropylene and polyglactin-910 grafts. Polypropylene, polyglactin-910 grafts, chitosan gel, and 5-FU-loaded polyglactin 910, polypropylene grafts were used to cover abdominal defects of rats which were created under sterile conditions (n=84). Each group was divided into two subgroups (n=6). Subgroups were sacrificed on the 7
resultsThe 7
conclusionThis study showed that 5-FU decreases the adhesions but the dosage and release kinetics need further investigations.
