Enhancing Aesthetic Outcomes Through Precise Application of Tissue Adhesive.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 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
Wound closure is essential for faster healing and better aesthetics. Tissue adhesives offer an effective alternative to sutures, staples, and strips, as they are easy to apply, eliminate suture removal, and reduce inflammatory reactions. However, improper use can cause scarring, dehiscence, and delayed healing. This study evaluated a novel application method to enhance precision and improve healing. Over 2 years, a single surgeon used the cube technique on 190 patients: (1) wounds without tension (65%), (2) wounds with tension and good edge approximation (33.7%), and (3) wounds with tension but poor edge approximation (1.6%). For tension-free wounds, small adhesive-soaked cotton cubes ensured optimal coverage. For wounds under tension, sutures were used to approximate edges before adhesive application, after which the sutures were removed. All patients reported high satisfaction (average rating: 9.5 of 10), with no complications such as infection or dehiscence. Tissue adhesives provided superior aesthetics by minimizing scarring and improving skin alignment. The cube technique enhanced application precision, reducing infection risks. This method is recommended for surgical wound closure.
