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

First-degree burns are the most common type of burn, but are often inadequately treated. The methods of treatment and the course of healing are poorly documented owing to the fact that first-degree burns are generally not considered to be a serious injury. First-degree burns can be caused by thermal injury or UV irradiation (sunburn). The pathophysiology and the therapeutic approach are similar, although the damage follows a different time course for each injury--immediate damage after contact with hot objects, liquids or fire, delayed damage after sun exposure. After initial cooling with water, aqueous emulsions with small amounts of well-tolerated lipids (O/W emulsions) are best suited for treating first-degree burns or sunburn. Water evaporates producing cooling and reducing inflammation; the lipids accelerate the repair of the damaged skin barrier and reduce drying. Foam sprays and lotions are ideal because they are easy and painless to apply. The use of topical corticosteroids is not recommended, as superiority to the vehicle has not been shown.
