Burns and patients infected with COVID-19 at a burn treatment centre in Brazil: a series of case-reports.
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
backgroundIn December 2019, in Wuhan, China, several cases of viral pneumonia, caused by a new type of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, a disease that became known as COVID-19) emerged. Being an alarming situation, many resources were directed to fight this pandemic. However, other diseases and conditions, such as burn injuries, continued to occur in this period, thus creating multiple challenges.
methodFour patients with COVID-19 treated in a reference burn treatment centre from the Northeast region of Brazil, in the city of Fortaleza were analysed between April to June 2020.
resultsAll patients were admitted in the service without signs of COVID-19 infection; however the symptoms appeared a few days after hospitalisation. The most common symptom was fever, especially when it occurred in only one spike. Patients who evolved to an unfavourable outcome had comorbidities prior to the infection and burn injury. In addition to this, these two patients had a worsening of their renal function, in contrast to the other two patients that received hospital discharge.
conclusionThe burned patient is a complex one that requires the health professional's attention and special care. This became even more evident during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the patients' changes and symptoms must be cautiously analysed, their diagnosis should not be delayed and it must be made under standardised protocols accordingly with the socio-economic and cultural realities of each service.
