The seagull excision technique for pilonidal sinus disease.
Article in Techniques in coloproctology, 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
Pilonidal sinus disease is a common condition affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue in the upper natal cleft. Bascom's cleft lift procedure, an established surgical technique, treats the disease by excising the sinus tract, flattening the gluteal cleft, and displacing the incision off the midline (Immerman in Cureus, 2021. 10.7759/cureus.13053; Leventoglu et al. in Colorectal Dis 25:1938-1939, 2023. 10.1111/codi.16701). The seagull excision technique, developed as an alternative to the proven cleft lift procedure, aims to achieve similar surgical goals while offering a different flap design and closure strategy. This video demonstrates the application of the seagull excision technique in a 37-year-old male patient with pilonidal sinus disease.
