Effect of Manual Acupuncture and Laser Acupuncture on Wound Closure in Rat with Deep Partial Thickness Burn Injury.
Article in Medical acupuncture, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Burns are defined as tissue damage that occurs as a result of the action of heat. Although many advanced treatments have been made in burn therapy, slow wound healing remains a challenge in burn treatment. Acupuncture can accelerate burn healing through its anti-inflammatory effect, increasing re-epithelialization and angiogenesis. Objectives: This study assessed the effect of manual acupuncture and laser acupuncture on the healing of burns that were observed macroscopically and microscopically. Methods: Thirty-six male Wistar rats with deep partial thickness burns were randomly divided into control group ( Results: On the 14th day of macroscopic evaluations, there was a significant difference ( Conclusion: The results showed that either acupuncture therapy or laser acupuncture therapy could be used as an adjunct therapy to accelerate burn healing.
