Trends 10 years after burn injury: A Burn Model System National Database study.
Article in Burns : journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundThe Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief (BSHS-B) evaluates 9 aspects of health and has been validated globally. Existing reports typically focus on outcomes shortly after injury. The purpose of this study is to determine whether quality of life remains a concern for burn survivors ten years after-injury.
methodsCross sectional data of survivors admitted from 1994 to 2006 to four US burn centers were collected in the Burn Model System National Database 10 years after injury. Responses to the items in the nine BSHS-B domains range from 0 to 4. Lower scores indicating poorer quality of life. Median scores are reported and differences were compared using Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test.
resultsTen-year survivor injury characteristics suggest a moderate severity of injury. Survivors scored lower in heat sensitivity, affect, body image, and work (median=3.2, 3.6, 2.8, and 3.6, respectively). Affect, body image, and interpersonal scores were significantly lower for females (median=3.1, 2.8, 3.8, respectively) than males [median=3.6, 3.3, 4, respectively (p=0.008, 0.004, 0.022, respectively)].
conclusionsOur results suggest certain domains of burn specific health benefit from support at 10 years after injury, and select populations such as females may necessitate additional treatment to restore burn-specific health. These results support that burn injuries represent a chronic condition and long-term medical and psychosocial support may benefit burn survivor recovery.
