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

Pressure sores remain a common health problem, particularly among the physically limited or bedridden elderly, and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to present our surgical treatment and strategy for patients with multiple pressure sores. Between January 2010 and December 2016, 18 patients were enrolled. After adequate debridement, pressure sores were managed based on our treatment protocol. Patients' age, aetiology, defect size and location, flap reconstruction, outcome, and follow-up period were reviewed. A total of 10 men and 8 women (average age, 82.3 years) with a mean follow-up period of 28.3 months (6-72 months) were included. The mean defect area was 63.7 cm
