Evaluation of the Effect of a New Surgical Medical Drain Anti-Dislodgement Fixation Patch and Fixation Method in Postoperative Thyroid Care: A Randomized Trial.

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
Participants: This study enrolled 294 patients admitted to the Thyroid Surgery Department of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between April and July 2024. Patients were randomly assigned to either the control group (145 patients) or the experimental group (149 patients). Interventions: The control group received traditional adhesive tape fixation for drains, while the experimental group utilized a newly developed fixation patch combined with a unique "C" and "S" fixation method. Both groups employed vertical negative pressure drainage. Specific Objectives or Hypotheses: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical effectiveness and patient satisfaction with a novel surgical drain fixation patch and method in the context of thyroid surgery. The hypothesis was that the novel fixation patch and method would reduce drain-related adverse events, improve patient comfort, and increase patient satisfaction. Outcomes: The experimental group exhibited significantly lower rates of drain-related adverse events, including displacement, infection, and leakage, compared to the control group (3.40% vs 53.10%, P < 0.05). Additionally, patients in the experimental group reported lower neck/throat pain scores (mean score: 0.84 vs 1.40 in the control group, P < 0.05) and experienced no drain pulling pain (0% vs 1.16% in the control group, P < 0.05). Furthermore, the need for patch replacements was virtually eliminated in the experimental group (0% vs 70.86% in the control group, P < 0.05). Patient satisfaction with the fixation method was significantly higher in the experimental group (83.3% vs 46.9% in the control group, P < 0.05). Randomization: Patients were randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups, ensuring the fairness and reliability of the study. Trial Registration: The study was retrospectively registered with the China Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2400087677) on August 1, 2024.
