Use of Barbed Sutures in Endoscopic-Assisted Septal Surgery: A Technical Report of a Knot-Free Technique.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nasal septal surgery is routinely undertaken in patients who have septal deviation causing nasal obstruction. This manuscript describes our use of absorbable, knotless, looped, unidirectional barbed suture materials in patients undergoing endoscope-assisted septal surgery. Barbed sutures do not require sutures to be tied within the nasal cavity, which saves time intra-operatively and prevents the loosening of sutures post-operatively. Our experiences demonstrate the benefits of this novel technique over traditional septal quilting suture methods, and it has become standard practice within our unit for endoscope-assisted septoplasty.
