Outcomes and complications of diabetic burn injuries: a single center experience.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionComorbid conditions may adversely affect burn outcomes. Burn injuries remain one of the most prevalent injuries presenting to emergency departments. The current study compares the outcomes of burn injuries in diabetic and non-diabetic patients.
methodsA retrospective review of 705 burn patients admitted to the burn unit was performed. All adult patients (18 years old and above) who were admitted to the burn unit were included. The study compared the complications and outcomes of the diabetic and non-diabetic burn patient.
resultsPatient were divided into diabetic (14%) and non-diabetic groups (86%). Diabetic burn patients were more likely to be older with a mean age of 58.7 years compared to 33.6 years in non-diabetic group (P=0.000). Inhalation injury was found in 3% of diabetic group compared to 14% of non-diabetic group (P=0.009). Diabetic patients were more likely to have associated medical comorbidities especially hypertension. Overall mortality rate was 13% and overall length of stay (LOS) was 28.4 days with no significant differences between groups.
conclusionOlder age, hypertension and contact burns are significantly associated with DM in burn patients. No increased risk of burn-related infections, mortality and LOS were observed in the DM group.
