Effects of Diabetes Mellitus on the Mortality, Length of Hospital Stay and Number of Operations in Burn Patients.
Article in Annals of dermatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on mortality and morbidities in burn patients have not been sufficiently elucidated.
objectiveThe present study aimed to investigate the effects of DM on the mortality, length of hospital stay, and number of operations in burn patients.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed using medical records of 3,220 burn patients. Multiple logistic regression, linear regression, and Poisson regression models were used to determine whether DM increases mortality in patients with burn injury, whether DM prolongs length of hospital stay in burn survivors, and whether DM increases the number of operations in burn survivors, respectively.
resultsAfter adjusting for potential confounding factors, DM significantly increased odds of death in burn patients (adjusted odds ratio 3.225 [95% confidence interval 1.405~7.400],
conclusionDM increases mortality, elongates hospital stay and makes more operations required in patients with burn injury.
