Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2019. 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
backgroundBurns is one of the most important health issues as well as the most expensive injuries that take place at all ages. It also considers a disaster for society, family, and person. The aim of the study was to examining fatal burns and associated factors' in burn unit patients in Iran.
methodsa case-control study was carried out in the poorest region of Iran. The research population consisted of all patients in a burn unit in Zahedan public hospital during 2013-2018. Using systematic random sampling method, 430 persons (215 dead persons, 215 released persons) were entered into the study. The data form and SPSS software were used for data gathering and the data analyzing, respectively.
resultsabout 41.4% of dead patients were at the age of 25-44 and 60.5% of dead patients were women. Also, 96.3% of expired patients were on level 3 burns. The cause of the burns in 46% of death was flame, oil, and gasoline. Moreover, there is a significant relationship between burns and the age, gender, residence place, history of the previous disease, the cause of burns, burns percentage and the burn level in both case and control group.
conclusionin the poorest region of Iran, younger (as the labor force) and women were at high risk of death due to burn. Developing gas infrastructures in this region could decrease the incidence and severity of burns.
