Superior absorption and retention properties of foam-film silver dressing versus other commercially available silver dressing.
Article in Biomaterials research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers, 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
backgroundThe aim of this study is to investigate the physicochemical and structural properties of Medifoam®Silver and to compare with other commercially available silver-containing polyurethane (PU) foam dressing in vitro.
methodsSurface and cross-section of four polyurethane foam dressings were assessed with field-emission scanning electron microscope. Thickness, density, tensile strength, elongation, absorption rate, absorption/retention capacity and water-vapor transmission (WVT) were measured to compare physical properties of various dressing materials.
resultsAmong four tested dressings, Medifoam®Silver has relatively uniform and smallest pore size in both surface and cross-section. In comparison of absorption properties with other dressing materials, Medifoam®Silver has rapid absorption rate, good absorption/retention capacity and good WVT value.
conclusionsThe data further suggests that Medifoam®Silver is a promising candidate for wound healing management.
