Comparison of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and n-octyl cyanoacrylate topical skin adhesives for wound closure after ankle fracture surgery: a prospective randomized trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
To date, only a few clinical studies have investigated the differences between 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and n-octyl cyanoacrylate topical skin adhesives (TSAs). This study aimed to compare the outcomes of the two TSAs for wound closure after ankle fracture surgeries. Fifty-six patients were randomized to receive either a 2-octyl or n-octyl cyanoacrylate TSA. At 3 and 6 months after surgery, wound cosmetic outcomes were assessed using the Hollander Wound Evaluation Scale (HWES), and patient satisfaction for wound cosmesis was assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) and 5-item Likert scale. Functional outcomes at 6 months after surgery were assessed using the Olerud-Molander Ankle Score (OMAS). Fifty-five patients completed the study protocol. Within the follow-up period, no differences were found between the two groups in terms of HWES, VAS, 5-item Likert scale, and OMAS. 2-octyl cyanoacrylate TSA and n-octyl cyanoacrylate TSA were comparable options for wound closure after ankle fracture surgeries in terms of wound cosmesis, patient satisfaction, and functional outcome.
