Chlorhexidine coated sutures after extraction: A randomized controlled trial.
Article in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. 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
Aim: To assess and compare the efficacy of chlorhexidine coated polyglactin 910 versus non-coated sutures in post-operative infection control. Methodology: A split-mouth study involving 45 participants needing surgical tooth extraction split into two groups: Group A (45 teeth) with chlorhexidine-coated sutures and Group B (45 teeth) with non-coated sutures. Participants indicated for a bilateral third molar surgical extractions requiring a three-cornered flap elevation and buccal bone guttering were included in the study. The parameters assessed clinically were pain, swelling, wound dehiscence, erythema, infection and trismus on post-operative day 1, 4 and 7. Culture and assessment of sutures for organisms and colony forming units was done on day 7 (CFU/ml). The data was recorded and statistically analyzed. Results: Group A showed lower pain scores and swelling. Infection rates were lower in Group A but were not of statistical significance. Erythema, trismus and wound dehiscence showed lower scores in group A. Microbiologically, Conclusion: Chlorhexidine-coated sutures has a proven benefit in the reduction of bacterial growth (CFUs/ml) post-surgical tooth extraction and may be a useful adjunct in reducing the post-operative inflammation.
