Ship-shaped resection with nail matrix destruction: an improved and aesthetical surgical approach for grade II/III ingrown toenails.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIngrown nails may cause progressively aggravated pain, discomfort and immobility. We modified the traditional Winograd procedure and proposed an improved surgical method which is ship-shaped resection along with nail matrix destruction. We evaluate the clinical outcome of this improved approach, especially in terms of recurrence and healing time as well as the aesthetical outcomes.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 200 consecutive patients with grade II/III ingrown toenails were operated using this method from November 2020 to November 2022. Follow-up data were obtained from routine outpatient clinic controls at postoperative days 1, 14, 30 and 90, as well as a follow-up phone call 1 year after the surgery.
resultsThe average operation time was 30 min (range 20-33). There was no important complication except some bleeding. All of these cases were managed well with a complete recovery. The healing time was 12.5 days (range: 10-18). In addition, patients returned to their daily activities in approximately 5 days. Besides, 165 (82.5%) were very satisfied, 35 (17.5%) were satisfied, no patients were dissatisfied. Besides, the recurrence rate was 1% (2 patients) and postoperative local infection was observed in 3 patients (1.5%). 193 (96.5%) patients reflected the appearance after surgery was esthetic, 7(3.5%) patients for moderate and no patients for unesthetic.
conclusionsThus, we can conclude that this improved surgical procedure is a promising method to treat grade II/III ingrown toenail with less scarring, aesthetic appearance, low recurrence rate, rapid healing, and high patient satisfaction.
