Wound healing in older adults with severe burns: Clinical treatment considerations and challenges.
Article in Burns open : an international open access journal for burn injuries, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07526610 (Predictive Mortality Scales in the Burn Patient Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 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.

Abstract
Background: The older adult population continues to rapidly expand in number, with a projection by the United States (US) Census Bureau that there will be more individuals older than > 65 years (77.0 million) than those younger than < 18 years (76.5 million) by 2034. This review provides an overview of aging as it relates to wound healing and burn injuries in older adult patients, summarizes current treatment practices, and addresses the key challenges and considerations for treating severe burn injuries in this specific patient population. Materials and methods: A narrative literature search was conducted, focusing on recent primary literature on burns and wound healing in elderly patients. Results: Studies showed that the aging process results in both physiologic (eg, nutritional and metabolic status) and anatomic changes (eg, thinning dermis) that contribute to a reduced capacity to recover from burn-injury trauma compared with younger patients. Owing to impaired vision, decreased coordination, comorbidities, and medication-induced side effects, older adults (ie, > 65 years) are susceptible to severe burn injury (deep-partial thickness and full-thickness), which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Conclusion: A better understanding of the effects of age-related changes regarding wound healing in older adult patients who incur severe burn injuries may provide insight into clinical strategies to improve outcomes among this population.
