Effectiveness of Topical Hemocoagulase on the Healing of Surgical Wounds in the Neck: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2026. 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
Background: This study aims to evaluate the role and effectiveness of topical hemocoagulase in the healing process of surgical neck wounds in oral cancer patients undergoing surgery as the primary treatment modality. Methodology: This prospective, parallel, double-blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted on oral cancer patients planned for surgical resection and neck dissection. The study included 22 patients divided into two groups: Group I received topical hemocoagulase, and Group II served as the control. Quantitative assessment was performed using the DermaLab Combo device to measure dermal thickness, collagen level, elasticity, viscoelasticity, and retraction time. Qualitative assessment was performed using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS). Results: Analysis of quantitative variables revealed a significant improvement in dermal thickness, collagen levels, elasticity, viscoelasticity, and retraction time in Group I compared to Group II at both the 1st and 4th postoperative weeks. Qualitative assessment using POSAS showed a notable reduction in pain and improved overall scar appearance in the hemocoagulase group. These findings are consistent with previous studies that have shown the effectiveness of hemocoagulase in enhancing wound healing and reducing scar formation. Conclusion: Topical hemocoagulase significantly enhances wound healing in surgical neck wounds of oral cancer patients, providing both quantitative improvements and higher patient satisfaction.
