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

At the end of surgical therapy, the access is closed with sutures. Surgical sutures are thus used to adapt wound edges and tissues. The task of the suture material is to hold the tissues together until healing. For patients, a cosmetically good suture is often the sign of good surgery. Different tissues and layers have different requirements regarding the suture material. The different types from monofil to polyfil, braided, from absorbable to nonabsorbable are presented. The classification of suture strengths is compared. The areas of application of different strengths and the duration until removal of the sutures for the different body regions are presented. The one-hand and two-hand techniques of surgical knots are explained in detail. The technique of suture removal is presented. In the online material, the suture materials of different composition and manufacturers can be compared.
