Use of a Novel Two-layer Bandage in the Treatment of Chronic Venous Hypertension.
Article in The journal of the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Since the development of Unna boot therapies, there has been development in newer technologies for venous compression syndromes and chronic venous hypertension. Chronic lower extremity venous insufficiency results in venous stasis, edema and hypercongestion of the lower extremities. Given the breadth of potential uses, the goal of this study was to retrospectively compile and analyze the clinical application and effectiveness of a 2-layer zinc-impregnated foam Unna boot bandage (Andover Healthcare, Salisbury, MA) in patients with lower extremity swelling with or without wounds treated by a single physician and monitored for 12 weeks post-application in the outpatient setting. In patients with complex comorbidities, the use of this new foam-impregnated multi-layer compression Unna boot shows efficacy in reduction of edema and wound size within 12 weeks. This newer therapy shows extensive promise in the ability to keep patients adherent to treatment regimens with higher rates of success.
