Use of Fibrin Sealant for Split-Thickness Skin Grafts in Patients with Hand Burns: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Advances in skin & wound care, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 evaluate the efficacy of fibrin sealant as a topical hemostatic agent and for graft fixation during skin grafting of hand burns.
methodsThis prospective cohort study enrolled 40 patients with hand burns from January 2013 to December 2016. They were all treated with excision and split-thickness skin graft and divided into the fibrin sealant with tourniquet group (20 patients) and epinephrine tumescence group (20 patients).
main outcome measuresDemographic and clinical data such as age, sex, burn characteristics, operation time, estimated blood loss, and take rate were collected from each patient. MAIN
resultsThe demographic and burn characteristics were not statistically different between the two groups. Estimated blood loss per cm (0.30 vs 1.00; P < .001) was significantly lower and the graft take rate (99.2% vs 98.2%; P = .032) was significantly higher in the fibrin sealant with tourniquet group.
conclusionsThe use of fibrin sealants accompanied by tourniquets for hand burns exhibited superior results in terms of decreasing blood loss and had a better graft take rate compared with treatment with epinephrine tumescence.
