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

The availability of clinical-relevant large animal models for research in wound healing study is limited. Although a few reports described the wound dressing fixation method using polyurethane foam in patients, no animal studies were conducted to investigate efficacy of the polyurethane foam in grafted burn wounds. In the present study, we report a simple fixation method of grafted burned skin using polyurethane foam dressing (Allevyn Non-Adhesive, smith & nephew, UK) in a clinically relevant ovine grafted burn wound model. The dressing was removed at postoperative day 7 after skin graft. The grafted skin was completely engrafted without any complications. This method was safe and easy to perform and associated with good engraftment without any complications. We believe that the polyurethane foam fixation method may be successfully used in clinical practice as well as in preclinical studies for grafted burn wound repair and regeneration research.
