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
Objective: To design a double‑helix drainage tube securement patch and assess its clinical efficacy in patients after head‑neck surgery. Methods: Based on biomechanical theories, we developed a composite securement patch with bilateral 1‑cm‑wide, 3.5‑cm‑long spiral strips, an elastic connecting strap, and lateral pressure‑distributing wing patches (area ≥12 cm Results: The study group showed markedly lower AE incidence (p<0.001), shorter single securement time (1.75±2.81 min vs 2.88±2.93 min, p=0.043), higher GCQ scores (93.26±9.23 vs 84.39±14.82, p<0.001), better satisfaction (p<0.001), and 43.2% lower consumable costs (p<0.001). Traction‑related pain frequency and skin injury rate showed no inter‑group differences (p>0.05). No significant between-group difference was observed in the duration of drainage tube indwelling (p = 0.055). Conclusion: The double‑helix patch enables quick, stable drainage tube fixation. Its dynamic flexibility preserves head‑neck mobility, lowers drainage‑related AEs and secondary incision injury risks, cuts costs, and improves patient comfort and satisfaction, warranting wider clinical use.
