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

To study the effectiveness of hyperbaric medicine in osteoradionecrosis and irradiation induced wounds. To evolve a protocol for management with combined surgical modality for irradiation induced injury. This study was carried out in the Plastic Surgery Department, from November 2011 to December 2018. A total of 30 patients with post irradiation patients subjected to hyperbaric oxygen therapy during the management were enrolled in the study. The results regarding the changes in wound and complications were noted. Out of 30 patients, 20 patients were with radiation injury involving the oral cavity, one patient with left lower limb, one with breast, 3 with radiation injury of cheek, 3 of mandible, one with radiation cystitis and one involving the tooth socket. One patient experienced reversible myopia as a complication of hyperbaric therapy. No other complications were noted. Hyperbaric therapy is a useful adjunct for surgery in management of osteoradionecrosis and post irradiation wound and proves therapeutic in some post irradiated wound where we cannot offer surgical correction.
