Skin burns in Saudi Arabia: causes, management, outcomes and quality of life after skin burns.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundBurn is one of the major global health problem causing trauma and stress. A burn injury can cause functional impairment and psychosocial burdens affecting the quality of life. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the life quality after skin burn and patients' satisfaction on skin grafting outcomes in Saudi Arabia.
methodsIn this cross-sectional community-based survey included 166 participants. Each participant was interviewed using a purposeful questionnaire.
resultsThe highest incidence of skin burn cases were recorded among female participants (n=133) compared to males (n=33). The highest cause of burn injury was scald (46.4%) and the highest injured parts were hands across all age groups (n=89). Multiple logistic regression models for different parts of skin burn patients showed highly significant values for hands (
conclusionSkin burns are common in Saudi Arabia and more prevalent among females. Most skin burns occur at home and the most causative agent is hot water predominantly affecting hands. The majority of burns are treated using topical creams, and only some of them undergo skin grafting. There is a relatively higher degree of acceptance of skin burns treatment outcomes among the Saudi population.
