Influence of preoperative blood pressure on postoperative bleeding complications following Mohs micrographic surgery.

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
Background: Hypertension is a common comorbidity in patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). Evidence in other surgical fields has suggested that high blood pressure increases the risk of perioperative bleeding, predisposing patients to complications such as hematomas, dehiscence, wound infection, and necrosis. Methods: We reviewed medical charts of all 530 patients who underwent MMS at our institution in one calendar year to identify whether an association exists between preoperative blood pressure and bleeding outcomes in patients undergoing MMS. Results: Perioperative variables, including history of diagnosed hypertension, preoperative systolic blood pressure >160 mm Hg, systolic blood pressure >180 mm Hg, anticoagulation/antiplatelet therapy, tumor type, and number of stages did not significantly increase the risk of overall postoperative complications, including intra- and postoperative bleeding. Conclusion: Hypertensive patients and those on anticoagulation/antiplatelet therapy are not at significantly increased risk of bleeding or other complications following MMS.
