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

purposeA non-propellant based foam (NPF) system was developed incorporating the antibiotics, pectin capped green nano-silver and sulfadiazine (SD) for the topical treatment of burn wounds as a convenient alternative to the existing therapies.

methodsNPF were prepared using various surfactants and oils forming a nanoemulsion. Anti-microbial studies by resazurin microtitre assay, ex vivo diffusion, in vivo skin permeation and deposition studies, and acute irritation studies were carried out. NPF was applied onto secondary thermal wounds manifested on mice models followed by macroscopic and histological examinations.

resultsNPF had an average globule size of <75 nm. The viscosity was ~10 cP indicating the feasibility of expulsion from the container upon actuation. With no skin irritation, the foams showed a higher skin deposition of SD. A high contraction and an evident regeneration of the skin tissue upon treatment with NPF indicated a good recovery from the thermal injury was apparent from the histology studies.

conclusionNPF represents an alternative topical formulation that can be employed as a safe and effective treatment modality for superficial second degree (partial thickness) burn wounds. With a minimal requirement of mechanical force, the no-touch application of NPF makes it suitable for sensitive and irritant skin surfaces.
