Ultra-Early versus Early Excision and Grafting for Thermal Burns up to 60% Total Body Surface Area; A Historical Cohort Study.

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
objectiveTo compare the outcome of patients with up to 60% total body surface area (TBSA) thermal burns undergoing ultra-early and early excision and grafting.
methodsThis historical cohort study was performed in two referral burn centers of Shiraz during a 1-year period from 2015 to 2016. We included those patients with thermal burns up to 60% TBSA who underwent ultra-early (48-72 hours) and early (7-10 days) excision and grafting. We excluded those who were hemodynamically unstable and those with electrical burns. The outcome of patients was determined by graft success, operation duration, blood loss, hospital length of stay and mortality rate.
resultsWe included a total number of 107 patients with mean age of 32.1 ± 11.6 years. There were 65 (60.7%) men and 42 (39.3%) women among the patients. Both study groups were comparable regarding the baseline characteristics. Ultra-early excision and grafting was associated with more, higher graft success rate (
conclusionUltra-early excision and grafting in patients with thermal burns covering less than 60% TBSA was associated with higher graft success rate, shorter hospital length of stay, lower infection rate and lower mortality rate when compared to early surgery.
