Coated sutures for use in oral surgery: a comprehensive review.
Review in Clinical oral investigations, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionClinicians have access to a variety of suture materials for effective wound repair. Recent studies have suggested utilizing coatings on sutures to enhance their properties. Literature indicates that such coatings may improve the tensile strength of sutures and augment their antimicrobial capabilities. Various materials, including zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, and antimicrobial agents, have been investigated. This study aims to elucidate the materials utilized for coating sutures, identify the types of sutures employed, and detail the properties imparted by each coating.
methodA systematic search was conducted in the Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases using the keywords "coat*," "sutures," and "oral surgery."
results20 articles met the inclusion criteria and were incorporated into this review. The literature is sparse regarding comparative studies on sutures with specific coatings. Triclosan-coated sutures have not shown a significant reduction in microbial load in oral surgery. However, silver nanoparticle coatings have been effective in reducing wound contamination. Antiseptic-coated silk sutures demonstrated significantly lower microbial colonization compared to controls. Notably, sutures with lycopene coatings did not exhibit superior antimicrobial or mechanical properties to uncoated sutures. ZnO nanoparticle-coated silk fibers displayed higher tensile strength than their uncoated counterparts. Other coatings, such as silicone or wax, have been developed to reduce suture friction.
conclusionIn oral surgery, the effectiveness of coatings remains limited, potentially due to the high microbial load present in the anatomical region. Many coated materials are available for use in oral surgical sutures, but further research is necessary. Timely removal of sutures is recommended to minimize the risk of surgical wound infections, along with maintaining good oral hygiene.
