Social factors and injury characteristics associated with the development of perceived injury stigma among burn survivors.

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
Improvement in burn survival has shifted the focus of burn care from beyond merely preserving life to improving the quality of life for burn survivors. Healthy psychosocial function is critical to the development of sustained elevations in quality of life after injury, with social and community integration serving a crucial role. Accordingly, the experience of social stigma could pose a significant hindrance to the process of recovery. In this retrospective analysis of patient-reported outcomes following burn injury as captured in the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) Burn Model Systems database, we examined the patient and injury characteristics associated with the subsequent experience of social stigma by burn survivors. Using multivariable regression analysis, we found that facial burns and amputations are independent risk factors for experiencing social stigma, while male sex and increased community integration were protective. Taken together, these findings suggest a role for targeted counseling for patients who sustain facial burns and/or amputations, as well as the continued investment in burn-survivor outreach programs aimed at improving social support for survivors.
