Effect of active wound dressing on postoperative pain and wound healing in patients undergoing anorectal surgery.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 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
aimTo study the effect of active wound dressing on postoperative pain and wound healing in patients undergoing anorectal surgery (AS).
methodsThe clinical data of 110 AS patients from March 2023 to January 2024 were retrospectively screened. The study group (SG) included 55 patients who received active wound dressing post-operation, while the control group (CG) consisted of 55 patients who received conventional dressing, matched for baseline indices. Postoperative pain degree, wound healing rate, healing time, swelling disappearance time, dressing change times, granulation tissue formation time, growth factor levels, and inflammatory factor levels were compared between the groups.
resultsThere were notable variations in the time effect, inter-group effect and time × inter-group effect in the postoperative pain score and wound healing rate between the two groups (P < 0.05). The pain scores of the SG on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after operation were lower (P < 0.05). The wound healing rate of the SG was higher on the 1st, 3rd and 7th day after operation (P < 0.05). The wound healing time, wound swelling disappearance time, dressing change times and granulation tissue formation time in the SG were shorter (P < 0.05). The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, epidermal growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor in the SG were higher (P < 0.05). The levels of IL -8 and TNF-α in the SG were lower (P < 0.05).
conclusionActive wound dressing has been shown to alleviate postoperative pain in patients undergoing AS, promote wound healing, and effectively regulate levels of growth factors and inflammatory factors.
