Aqueous based Povidone-iodine related chemical burn under the tourniquet (a case report) and literature review.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2013. 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
Chemical burn under pneumatic tourniquet is an iatrogenic preventable injury and is rarely reported in the literature. The important mechanisms are maceration, irritation, and prolonged use of the tourniquet and pressure. This rare adverse complication occurred in a 35-year old man who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction of left knee. 5% aqueous based Povidone-Iodine was used as topical antiseptic and partial thickness burn occurred underneath the area of tourniquet application. Previous reports shows that chemical burns are more common in alcohol based Povidone-iodine than aqueous based. Chemical burn develops when Povidone- iodine does not adequately dry, pools beneath a dependent body part during surgery, or is placed under an occlusive device. To reduce the complications like chemical burn, awareness of the risk and the possible pathogenesis as well as the preventive measures is important in surgical practice.
