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

Large subcutaneous tumor removal in the upper back could leave "dead space" and increase postoperative complications. The progressive tension suture (PTS) has long been used in abdominoplasty to close dead space and reduce the complications rate. We aimed to explore the effectiveness of the modified PTS to reduce the complication of the large subcutaneous tumor removal in the upper back. Fity-nine patients with large subcutaneous upper back tumors (maximal length over 5 cm) were included in our prospective study and were randomly divided into the PTS group (n = 32) and the non-PTS group (n = 27). Based on the exposure of the deep fascia and the thickness of the flap, we modified the PTS technique and compared the outcomes (including necrosis, hematoma, and seroma) between the two groups. The tumor size, flap thickness, and the total surgical duration were comparable between the two groups. The incidence of flap necrosis (6.30% versus 25.90%,
