The surgical outcome of sutureless skin closures using Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Dermabond™) versus Steri-Strip™.
Article in National journal of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07686913 (A Randomized Prospective Trial Comparing Steri-Strip Application Versus Standard Wound Closure for Cesarean Section Incisions), which is not on this map.

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
Introduction: Cosmesis is the primary concern for the patient undergoing facial surgery and there are numbers of well proven materials that are available such as adhesive tapes, subcuticular suture, skin adhesive or glue to achieve better cosmesis. The objective of our study was to assess the surgical outcome of sutureless skin closures using Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Dermabond™) versus Steri-Strip™. Method: The present prospective study was conducted in 20 patients. Patients were divided into two groups. After subcutaneous closure of wounds, either Dermabond™ or Steri-Strip™ was placed. The patients were assessed for wound complication (erythema, tenderness, dehiscence or any discharge), scar hypertrophy and cosmetic appearance also time consumed in surgical skin closure was evaluated. Wound assessment, scar hypertrophy and cosmetic appearance were assessed by using Chi-square test. Time closure was assessed by using Mann-whitney U test. Result: Twenty patients belonging to all age group were included in study. Ten patients undergone closure with Dermabond™ and ten with Steri-Strips™. Assessment of wound complications, cosmetic appearance and scar hypertrophy was done. There was no significant difference found between both the groups, but 2 patients had fair cosmetic outcomes at one month and 1 patient had fair scar hypertrophy at 6 month. However, excellent cosmetic outcome in terms of scar hypertrophy at 6 month was significantly more among group II. Conclusion: Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Dermabond™) and Steri-Strip™ provide similar outcomes in terms of wound complications. Cosmetic outcomes in terms of scar hypertrophy with steri-strip wound closure seem to be better and more economical.
