1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Optimal surgical management of pilonidal disease remains controversial, with existing techniques requiring trade-offs between recurrence risk and recovery time. We report our experience with unroofing and marsupialization combined with Methods: This case series included 53 consecutive patients who underwent SSG. Outcomes analyzed included operative parameters, recovery, recurrence, complications, and patient satisfaction. Results: The median operative time was 61 minutes (IQR, 45-70). The median hospital stay was 4 days (IQR, 3-6), with a median cost of 11 037.9 CNY (IQR, 10 519.0-11 944.0). Patients resumed pain-free activities after a median of 2 days (IQR, 2-4) and returned to work or school after 14 days (IQR, 10-15). Wound healing time was 22 days (IQR, 20-25). At the final follow-up, recurrence occurred in two patients (3.8%). No postoperative complications were observed. Sensory disturbance was reported in four patients (7.5%), none of whom reported interference with daily activities. Overall patient satisfaction was high, with a median score of 5 (IQR, 4-5). Conclusions: This single-center series demonstrates that unroofing and marsupialization, combined with
