Comparison of Different Hemostatic Net Applications in a Rat Dorsal Skin Flap Model.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAlthough several articles have discussed the use of hemostatic nets to close dead spaces, no in vivo experimental studies have examined simultaneously the histology and tissue perfusion of these techniques.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to compare variations of the hemostatic net technique commonly used in current practice.
methodsTwo different hemostatic net suturing techniques and 2 suture removal times were tested, with a control group for comparison. In a modified McFarlane flap model, hemostatic net sutures were placed in either a vertical or horizontal pattern. Suture removal times were set at 60 hours and 7 days. Perfusion in the proximal, middle, and distal parts of the flap was assessed by SPY-assisted immunofluorescence angiography (Novadaq, Kalamazoo, MI) at 0 minutes, 60 hours, and 7 days after the first surgery. The rat dorsal flap was photographed in a standardized manner 1 week postsurgery. Flap survival areas were calculated as a percentage using ImageJ software (US National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD). On day 20, all rats were killed and sent for histological examination.
resultsThere was no statistically significant difference in macroscopic flap survival between the groups (P > .05). Group 5 (control) was statistically different with lower neovascularization scores than the other groups in all 3 segments (P < .01).
conclusionsHemostatic nets may improve neovascularization at the flap base but do not significantly affect overall flap survival.
