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
backgroundBurn is a serious public health problem and a leading cause of disability and disfigurement. However, there was no published study from our Hospital Burn Unit that assessed the clinical profiles and the outcomes of burn patients.
objectiveThis study was aimed to assess the clinical profiles and the outcomes of patients admitted with burn injuries.
methodsHospital-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Burn Unit of JMC. Systematic random sampling was used to include the burn patients. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Descriptive statistics, chi-square (
resultsOne hundred twenty-four burn patients (51.6% female) were included. The majority (79.84%) of the patients were in the age category of less than 29 years. Scalds (47.6%) were the most common cause of burns with three times in females. The extremities (93.5%) were the most frequently affected areas. Patients with second-degree superficial burns accounted for 61.3% of all patients. In 95.88% of the patients, the total body surface area burn (TBSA) was below 20%. Lactated ringers (69.4%) and tramadol (71.0%) were the most frequently used IV fluid for resuscitation and analgesic agent for pain, respectively. Patients who undergo any of the surgical procedures stayed in the hospital for greater than 30 days more than 4 times likely (OR = 4.8, 95% CI 2.08-11.2, P < 0.001).
conclusionScalds are the most common cause of burn injury, particularly in patients aged less than 14 years. Educating the community about the risk groups, household safety precautions, and early seeking medical care may reduce the incidence and morbidity of burn injuries.
