A relational database within the Leg Club Network: an audit.
Article in International wound journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 growing prevalence of venous leg ulcers in an ageing population presents challenges for wound care and management. The Lindsay Leg Club model is an alternative approach to the management of leg health that can improve patient outcomes. This article reports on an audit of a relational database located within the Leg Club Network, containing records of more than 17 000 patients (known as members) who attended a Leg Club in a 5-year period (2014-2019). Overall, over 266 000 member leg assessments and treatments were entered into the database. The average nurse-member attendance time was 28 min, with a skill mix of 23% senior nurses, 70% qualified and associate nurses, and 7% nurses in supervisory roles. Healing rates averaged 62% after 12 weeks. Recurrence rates were 20% after 12 weeks. Annual clinical and volunteer hours averaged 821 and 800 h, respectively. Staffing costs were £28 per wound treatment or leg assessment with a typical duration of 27 min; 71% of members were aged 70 to 94 years old, which indicates the need for a service that caters to the specific requirements of this age group. However, no data on psychosocial and well-being outcomes were recorded. Their inclusion in further developments of this database is recommended.
