[Causes of leg ulcers. Analysis of the data from a dermatologic wound care center].
Article in Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The etiology of chronic leg ulcers is very heterogeneous. The primary aim of our investigation was to analyze the etiology of leg ulcers in patients treated in our wound care center over a period of 5 years. In this open retrospective study, data of 354 patients was analyzed. We found a venous leg ulcer in 203 (57%), and in 52 (15%) patients a combined arterio-venous induced leg ulcer. The third most common cause was leg ulcers due to different types of vasculitis in 47 (13%) patients. An exclusively arterial induced leg ulcer was diagnosed in 13 (3.7%) patients. Overall 16 different etiologies were identified. In contrast to the few comparable other investigations, we found a higher incidence of immunologic und infectious causes for leg ulcers in our patients. Even if our results do not allow a representative overview about the prevalence of leg ulcer in Germany, they demonstrate the wide spectrum of leg ulcer causes in a dermatologic wound care centre.
