Advancements in Surgical Approaches for Sacrococcygeal Pilonidal Sinus: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus (SPS) is a condition involving the formation of a cavity in the lower back region. It is more common among young adults and is influenced by factors such as sitting for long periods, body hair, and certain lifestyle habits. Surgical treatment is often necessary for recurring or severe cases, and various surgical techniques available, ranging from traditional surgical methods to newer, less invasive approaches. This comprehensive review examines the progress in surgical techniques for managing SPS, emphasizing the effectiveness, safety, and patient outcomes associated with different methods. It provides an overview of traditional procedures, such as excision with primary closure, and contrasts these with recent innovations like endoscopic and laser-assisted techniques. The review also considers advanced technologies, including the potential of robotic surgery and the use of specialized materials. By assessing clinical outcomes, recurrence rates, complications, and patient satisfaction, this review seeks to identify the most effective surgical strategies for SPS. Additionally, it discusses recent technological advancements and highlights areas needing further research to improve the management and treatment of this condition.
