Vicryl Rapide or Prolene for Skin Closure of Cleft Lip Patients: A Prospective Study.

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
Aims and Objectives: To compare the surgical outcome of Vicryl Rapide and Prolene sutures in skin closure of patients operated for unilateral and bilateral cleft lip in our, Craniofacial Unit from 2013 to 2015. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients were included in the study who were randomly divided into the Vicryl rapide group ( Results: Prolene had significantly less scar and a better color match with adjacent skin than vicryl rapide; whereas vicryl rapide is economic and reduces hospital stay as it does not require additional general anesthesia exposure for suture removal. Post-operative complications were similar in both groups. Conclusion: Vicryl Rapide is as good as prolene as a suture material of choice in terms of postoperative complications. Thus, both these materials have their advantages and disadvantages and can be equivalently used in skin closure for cleft lips.
