Topical Management of Wound: A Narrative Review of Cadexomer Iodine Ointment Versus Povidone Iodine Ointment.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Several iodine formulations have been used for wound care for ages, but still there exist a number of controversial issues regarding their uses in the present era. Many published studies are available for both povidone iodine (PI) and cadexomer iodine (CI) with conflicting outcomes due to different preparations used and different study types. PI has a broad spectrum of activity including antiseptic properties, anti-inflammatory properties, low cytotoxicity, and good tolerability with the absence of associated resistance. CI is an immobilized iodine molecule in a hydrophilic modified-starch polymer bead with the dual property of cleansing the wound by absorbing the exudate and bactericidal effect by sustained release of iodine molecules over the infected wound. The preparations comprising PI and CI improve wound healing and minimize the bacterial infestation or contamination in various chronic wounds, burns, and ulcers. This review narrates the comparison of CI and PI for the management of wounds in the context of biofilm reduction, wound size reduction, and granulation tissue promotion.
