Bilaterally parallel elliptic flap versus Karydakis flap in primary pilonidal sinus disease: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in International journal of colorectal disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05851690 (Bilaterally Parallel Elliptic Flap Versus Karydakis Flap in Pilonidal Sinus Disease), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
purposePilonidal sinus disease is a disease that especially affects the young population and causes loss of workforce. Although many treatment methods have been defined, there is still no "gold standard" treatment method. Our objective was to evaluate the postoperative results of bilateral parallel elliptical flap and Karydakis flap in the surgical treatment of pilonidal sinus.
methodsThis study was conducted at the Colorectal Surgery Department of Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital. It designed a prospective randomized controlled study. Patients that underwent surgery due to pilonidal sinus were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. Surgery was performed with the bilateral parallel elliptical flap (BPEF) technique in one group and the Karydakis flap (KF) technique in the other group. Postoperative pain, length of hospital stay, wound complications, time taken to return to work/school, and recurrence incidence were evaluated.
resultsA total of 102 patients were included in the study, 49 in the BPEF group and 53 in the KF group. The length of hospital stay was similar in the BPEF and KF groups (1.41 ± 0.81 and 1.45 ± 0.84, respectively; p > 0.05). There was less postoperative pain in the BPEF group (2.47 ± 1.02 vs 3.57 ± 1.10, p < 0.05). Wound complications were observed in nine patients in the BPEF group (18.2%) and 14 patients in the KF group (26.2%). The time to return to work/school was shorter in the BPEF group (21.06 ± 6.37 vs 27.04 ± 7.45; p < 0.05). Recurrence developed in two (4%) patients in the BPEF group and three (5.6%) patients in the KF group (p > 0.05).
conclusionsThe patients who underwent surgery with the bilateral parallel elliptical flap technique had less pain and a shorter time to return to work/school after the operation. The postoperative complication and recurrence rates were similar in both groups.
