Biomechanical mechanism and clinical management progress of surgical wound tension.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Surgical wound tension, a core biomechanical factor in tissue repair, is clinically important because high tension can cause microcirculatory disturbances, leading to inhibition of cell migration and collagen deposition, and increasing complications such as wound dehiscence and incisional hernia. Therefore, the concept of "active tension reduction" has been emphasized, including preoperative optimization of biomechanical distribution, intraoperative layered combined subcutaneous tension-reducing suturing, and postoperative dynamic management. However, the difficulty in standardizing wound tension quantification presents clinical challenges. In summary, this study integrates the biomechanical mechanisms of surgical wound tension with clinical practice to explore a systematic strategy from tension assessment to novel intervention techniques.
