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
backgroundMajority of the pediatric burns happen when an adult is nearby the child. This suggests the role of adult carelessness or neglect as a cause of burns. The aim of this study is to provide clinical data on pediatric hand burns and to draw attention to the role of neglect in pediatric burn injuries.
methodsChildren admitted to a tertiary burn center between September 2017 and October 2018 were included in the study. Epidemiological data including age, sex, etiology and place of injury, presence of caregiver nearby, physical signs of neglect or abuse, clinical outcomes including burned total body surface area, length of admittance, and complications were recorded.
resultsA total of 335 pediatric burns were admitted to the burn center. Among them 89 patients with hand involvement were included in the study. Most of the patients were under the age of 6 (79.8%) and 88.8% of the burn accidents occurred indoors. Scalding was the main mechanism for hand burns. There was an adult nearby in 71.9% of the patients. Among patients with hand involvement, 19 (21.35%) were considered as neglect. All the neglect cases were under the age of 6.
conclusionPediatric burn accidents occurred mainly at home, mostly with an adult around. Habits of drinking hot beverages, dangerous cooking practices and lack of awareness are some important issues leading to burn accident. Neglect is found in 21.35% of hand burns as the etiology. In addition to general preventive measures special attention should be paid to the signs of neglect in the evaluation of patients. These burns should also be reported to official services, as they may reflect inadequate supervision or neglect by the caregiver.
