Incidence and Characteristics of Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injuries in Patients Following Spinal Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study.
Observational study in International wound journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This single-center prospective observational study aimed to compare the incidence, types, and characteristics of medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSI) in spinal surgery patients based on the type of dressing used. All adult patients who were scheduled for spinal surgery within a one-year period in a single institution were included. A structured case report form was created to collect data; a single assessor evaluated MARSI for eligible patients. Group differences were analysed with an independent t-test or Mann-Whitney U test, and survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan-Meier analysis, the log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. Within 10 days of surgery, 45% of 140 study participants developed MARSI, with contact dermatitis being the most common type (41.4%). The acrylate-dressing group had a higher cumulative incidence (56.8%) than the silicone group (31.8%) (p = 0.003) as well as a shorter time to the first MARSI (p < 0.001), longer MARSI duration (p < 0.001), and a 2.55-time higher risk of MARSI (p < 0.001). In summary, the use of post-operative dressings with silicone adhesives post-spinal surgery was associated with a lower incidence, longer time to the occurrence, shorter duration, and lower risk of MARSI compared to the use of acrylate dressings.
