A retrospective review of the use of a nanocrystalline silver dressing in the management of open chronic wounds in the community.
Article in International wound journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07521176 (Evaluation of the Efficacy of Applying the Nano-crystalline Silver Membrane After Surgical Gingival Depigmentation), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 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.

Abstract
As part of an infection management protocol, antimicrobial dressings offer an appropriate, cost-effective choice for the management of localised bioburden in chronic wounds. The choice of antimicrobial can impact significantly not only on the treatment outcomes and cost but also on the safety and well-being of the patient. This retrospective study investigates these outcomes comparing health care records of 2572 patients with open chronic wounds, who were treated either with an Integrated Care Wound Bundle (ICB) including nanocrystalline silver (NCS) dressings (n = 330) or without NCS dressings and not on a ICB (n = 2242) in the community from March 2016 to March 2018. Wounds treated in the NCS dressing treatment bundle had a mean healing time of 10.46 weeks, vs 25.49 weeks for the non-ICB treated wounds. In addition, the average interval time between dressing changes was in favour of the NCS dressing treatment bundle (3.98 vs 1.87 days), contributing to a substantial reduction in mean treatment labour costs ($1251 vs $6488). The use of a NCS dressing demonstrated improved efficacy and cost effectiveness of labour required for chronic wound management; highlighting the importance of choosing an effective antimicrobial dressing as part of an infection management protocol.
