Modified Winograd technique versus partial resection with electrocoagulation for surgical management of ingrown toenails.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundIngrown toenails significantly impact quality of life. This study compares the clinical outcomes of the modified Winograd method versus partial resection with matrix electrocoagulation. We hypothesize that electrocoagulation will result in lower recurrence rates, shorter recovery times, and higher patient satisfaction compared to the modified Winograd method.
methodsWe analyzed data from 132 patients who underwent surgery at our hospital between January 2016 and January 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: Group A (69 patients), who underwent the modified Winograd procedure, and Group B (63 patients), who received partial nail excision with matrix electrocoagulation. We compared recurrence rates, recovery times, patient satisfaction, types and frequencies of complications, and VAS pain scores. Statistical analysis was performed using the t-test and chi-square test.
resultsRecurrence rates were 15% in Group A and 10% in Group B (p = 0.251). Infection rates were 10% in Group A and 8% in Group B (p = 0.459). The average recovery time was 11 days for Group A (range: 5-21 days) and 9 days for Group B (range: 5-20 days) (t = 2.81, p = 0.006). Postoperative VAS scores decreased significantly, with Group B showing a greater reduction in pain (t = 3.18, p = 0.002). Patient satisfaction was higher in Group B, though the difference was not statistically significant (Chi-square = 6.45, p = 0.091).
conclusionThe modified Winograd method remains effective, with high satisfaction and low recurrence rates. However, partial nail resection with matrix electrocoagulation offers shorter recovery times and greater pain reduction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III: Retrospective comparative study.
