The efficacy of sequentially comprehensive treatment based on surgery in the treatment of keloids: a retrospective study.

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
Purpose: The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical efficacy of sequentially comprehensive treatment based on surgery and to furnish clinical evidence for the management of keloids. Patients and methods: The patients with keloids were retrospectively analyzed who underwent surgery-based sequentially comprehensive treatment at the Plastic Surgery Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital from January 2018 to August 2021. The recurrence rate and incidence of adverse reactions were explored for all the included patients. For patients who were followed up for more than 1 year, the clinical response rate was calculated, and the chi-square test was used to analyze which factors could influence clinical effectiveness. Binary logistic analysis was performed on the factors with statistical differences. For patients with a follow-up time of less than 1-year, paired Results: A total of 67 patients with 80 keloids were included. The clinical response rate was 81.5% (44/54), the recurrence rate was 15.0% (12/80) and the adverse reaction rate was 4.5% (3/67). The clinical response rate of tumor-type keloids (95.8%) was higher than that of inflammatory-type (70.0%) with a significant difference ( Conclusion: The sequentially comprehensive treatment based on surgery has a significant curative effect, as well as a low recurrence rate and a low adverse effect rate. The type of keloid has a statistically significant effect on clinical efficacy, and tumor-type keloids are more suitable for sequentially comprehensive treatment based on surgery.
