Laparoscopic procedures-induced keloids: A retrospective case series 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 3 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
The abdominal skin is not a common area for keloid formation. The knowledge of laparoscopically induced keloids (LIK) remains little. This article aimed to review the case series of LIK and analyse the characteristics. A retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. Patients' clinical records in the database were collected, including the demographics, medical history, laparoscopic surgery information, keloid information, and the severity of LIKs recorded using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale. Twenty-four LIK patients were enrolled. 18 patients were female and 10 had chronic diseases. 11 patients had non-LIKs. 91.6% patients received laparoscopic cholecystectomy. LIKs were mainly located under the xiphoid process (N = 20), followed by the umbilicus (N = 16). 41.7% patients developed keloids at all trocha sites. The severity of the LIK was significantly negatively associated with the presence of the non-LIK. Laparoscopic procedures could lead to the formation of keloids. Two types of LIKs were noticed: extended incisions induced long "spreading" type and trocha induced round bulging type. The presence of non-LIKs could significantly reduce the severity of LIKs.
