Evaluation of a knotless barbed suture for canine total lung lobectomy: An ex vivo study.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo compare leakage pressure and ligation time of bronchial sealing using barbed sutures, stapling devices, or traditional sutures during total lung lobectomy in dogs. STUDY
designExperimental ex vivo study with randomized order of procedures. SAMPLE POPULATION: A total of 30 lung lobes from five canine cadavers weighing 10-13 kg.
methodsThe lobe samples were randomly allocated to the stapling device (ST), traditional suture ligation (TR), or barbed suture ligation (BA) group (n = 10 each). Bronchial ligation time was recorded for each procedure. Each bronchial stump was tested for air leakage for pressures up to 80 cmH
resultsThe median air leakage pressure was 45.0 cmH
conclusionBarbed sutures for bronchial closure provided comparable leakage pressure to stapling devices and traditional sutures and reduced suturing time compared to traditional sutures. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Barbed suture ligation might be a viable alternative for canine total lung lobectomy.
