AQUACEL® Ag Dressing with Hydrofiber® Technology.
Article in Advances in wound care, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
problemThere are many silver-containing wound dressings available for managing and preventing wound infection. Each claims to provide effective antimicrobial activity due to the presence of silver in the dressing. However, assuming effectiveness on the basis of an antimicrobial alone ignores the importance of the carrier dressing and its overall role in wound healing. SOLUTION: Choice of a silver-containing wound dressing should include consideration of the impact that dressing technology has on the effectiveness of antimicrobial activity as well as its influence on other factors essential for wound healing. NEW TECHNOLOGY: AQUACEL® Ag dressing combines patented Hydrofiber® Technology with ionic silver, a proven broad-spectrum antimicrobial. Recent INDICATIONS FOR USE: AQUACEL Ag dressing is indicated for the management of a variety of at risk/infected chronic and acute wounds. CAUTION: Not all silver dressings are created equal. Selection of an antimicrobial dressing should take into account
