Risk factors associated with keloid infections: A five-year retrospective study.
Article in International wound journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Keloid infections reduce patient-reported quality of life greatly. Characteristics and risk factors of keloid infections have not been thoroughly studied. So, a retrospective cohort study was conducted focusing on the potential risk factors, microbiologic cultures and histological findings. Keloid patients consulting for surgical interventions were included in this study. Data were collected from their electronic medical records. 564 patients were recruited with the keloid infection rate being 22.4%. For adult patients, age above 40 years (OR, 2.84; P = .000), disease duration of 12 years or more (OR, 3.03; P = .000), the number of keloids over 3 (OR, 1.59; P = .050) and the presence of family history (OR, 1.91; P = .027) were significantly associated with keloid infections. Suppurative keloids were located mostly in thorax (61.79%). For the under-age subgroup(n = 25), family history was frequently seen in patients with infections. Microbiologic cultures revealed a mixed spectrum of bacteria including Staphylococcus (25%), Actinomyces (30%) and Prevotella (10%). The rate of epidermoid cysts was 19.7% in histological examination. Age > 40 years, disease duration ≥12 years, the number of keloids >3 and the presence of family history are risk factors for keloid infections.
