Investigating recurrence in pilonidal sinus disease: results of a nationwide, multicenter study in Turkey (PISI TURKEY).
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the recurrence rates for the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) in Turkey and the factors associated with recurrence of PSD after surgery on a nationwide scale.
methodsThis national, multicenter, database review was conducted in Turkey by the PISI TURKEY Research Group, and included recipients of PSD surgery in 41 select hospitals in Turkey, between January 2019 and January 2020. Data were collected by completion of standardized data forms. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data, comorbidities, PSD type, previous PSD interventions, index PSD intervention, recurrence, and complications were collected from baseline to postoperative 12 months.
resultsThe data of 1662 patients from 41 centers were analyzed. The median age was 25 (21-32) years, and 80.26% of the cases were male. The recurrence rate following index operations was 6.26% in the 12-month period. Age (p = 0.594) and sex distribution (p = 0.441) were similar in patients with and without recurrence. The recurrent group had significantly higher frequencies of type V PSD (p < 0.001), wound site infection (p < 0.001), and wound separation (p < 0.001), whereas the non-recurrent group had a significantly higher frequency of type III PSD (p < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression revealed that prior recurrence, postoperative wound site infection, and postoperative wound separation were independently associated with recurrence.
conclusionsThe recurrence rate after PSD surgery in Turkey was close to the lower ranges reported in prior literature. Turkish patients with a history of prior recurrence, postoperative wound site infection, or postoperative wound separation should be considered to have higher risks for recurrence.
