Logistic regression analysis of risk factors influencing postoperative keloid scar recurrence.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo identify risk factors of postoperative keloid scar recurrence in patients using logistic regression analysis.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted with the use of clinical data collected from 132 keloid scars patients undergoing keloidectomy under local anaesthesia between January 2020 and June 2023 at The First Affiliated Hospital of the WANNAN Medical College. The recurrence of keloid scars in the included patients was analyzed, and their clinical data were subjected to univariate analysis. Factors showing significant differences were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. A receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was generated based on the independent risk factors to explore the predictive performance of joint-factor prediction for postoperative recurrence of keloid scars, and a corresponding Nomogram was generated.
resultsOut of the 132 patients, 38 experienced keloid scar recurrence, accounting for 28.79% of the total cases. Logistic regression analysis identified infection, family history of keloid scars, relatively large scar size and the absence of radiotherapy and local hormone therapy as independent risk factors influencing postoperative recurrence of keloid scars. The prediction for postoperative recurrence of keloid scars based on the joint independent risk factors yielded an area under the ROC curve of 0.889, with a sensitivity, a specificity, and an accuracy of 78.72%, 86.84%, and 81.06%, respectively.
conclusionInfection, family history of keloid scars, relatively large scar size, and the absence of radiotherapy and local hormone treatment have been identified as independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence of keloid scars in patients.
