[Position paper of the Initiative Chronische Wunde (ICW) e. V. on the nomenclature of debridement in chronic wounds].
Review in Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
The nomenclature used today in wound treatment varies widely across different disciplines and professions. Therefore, it is a mission of the professional association Initiative Chronische Wunde (ICW) e. V. to exactly and comprehensibly describe terms that were previously unclear. Therefore, the experts of the ICW defined in a consensus procedure debridement of chronic wounds as the removal of adherent, dead tissue, scabs or foreign bodies from wounds. There are various therapy options for this, which can be differentiated into autolytic, biosurgical, mechanical, osmotic, proteolytic/enzymatic and technical debridement. In the case of surgical debridement, a distinction is also made between sharp debridements that can usually be performed on an outpatient basis, such as minor surgical procedures, and surgical debridements with adequate anaesthesia in an operating theatre. Wound irrigation is defined by the ICW as the removal of non-adherent components on wounds with sterile solutions. Debridement and/or wound irrigation are often the first step in phase-appropriate modern wound treatment. Several methods are suitable for use in a combined or successive therapy. When deciding which therapeutic option to use, a number of individually different factors should be taken into account, depending on the patients to be treated but also on the therapists. The final individual decision for a method should be made together with the patient in each case and then adequately documented.
