1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionWarmth to the extremity is known to improve the cutaneous blood flow and tissue perfusion. Oxygen is essential for healing of chronic wounds. Topical oxygen therapy has become standard therapy in management of lower extremity wounds. A combination of local heat and oxygen is likely to be beneficial in many clinical scenarios of non-healing wounds without any systemic effects.

aimTo evaluate the local and systemic effects of the exposure of extremity to warm oxygen in healthy volunteers. MATERIALS AND

methodsThirty one volunteers were included in the study. The index foot was exposed to oxygen 7l/min, 93%-95% concentration at temperature of 43

resultsThe skin temperature of index foot reached to 34

conclusionThe result of the study can be extrapolated to the healing of chronic non healing wounds using warm oxygen therapy. Further studies are required on patient population to prove benefits in clinical settings.
