Comparison of Intralesional Vitamin D with Intralesional Triamcinolone Acetonide in the Treatment of Keloids.
Article in World journal of plastic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Background: Hypertrophic scars and keloids are disorders caused by the excessive growth of connective tissue, associated with the accumulation of collagen and cellular matrix components. These scars are caused by abnormal wound healing and can have a great impact on patients' lives. Therefore, we aimed to compare the effect of intralesional injection of vitamin D with triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of keloid. Methods: This study was a one-sided blind clinical trial, conducted on 22 patients (44 samples) with keloid. It was a randomized, blinded clinical trial, conducted in Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ahvaz, Iran in 2022. In each group, triamcinolone or vitamin D was injected at the lesion site with an interval of three weeks and an average of 6 sessions. The patients were re-evaluated 3 months after the end of the treatment in terms of recurrence. Results: By examining the VSS scale in each of the groups, this scale decreased significantly in both groups after the intervention (P=0.001), which was greater in the group receiving triamcinolone (P=0.001). Conclusion: It seems that the injection of vitamin D at the site of the lesion helps to treat it, but the effectiveness of the usual triamcinolone treatment was still higher, it is suggested to use vitamin D as an adjunctive treatment in these patients.
