Article in The open cardiovascular medicine journal, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03644849 (A Single Center, Prospective, Double-blinded, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Fractionated Carbon Dioxide Therapy in Postoperative Lower Extremity Wound Healing), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

Lower extremity venous ulcers comprise a complex medical and social issue. The conservative and/or surgical management of venous ulcers is often inadequate. In addition, the psychosocial aspect of the disease is often overlooked and most often undertreated. Common symptoms such as pain, low self-esteem and patient isolation are usually not recognized and therefore not adequately managed.This mini-review summarizes the current data on the management of lower extremity venous ulcers and their impact on the quality of life of these patients.
