1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeAim of this study was to compare the use of split-thickness skin graft (STSG) with and without additional MatriDerm

methodsThis retrospective study included patients treated in a European level I trauma center between June 2013 and July 2018 in terms of a severe traumatic soft tissue defect of the lower extremity using STSG alone or in combination with the acellular dermal substitute MatriDerm

resultsA total of 147 cases were included in this study. The overall healing rate (number of patients with take rate ≥ 75%) was 88/147 (60%) and did not demonstrate significant differences between the treatment groups (p = 0.15). Despite the difference in wound complexity between the treatment groups, there was no difference regarding the scar tissue quality 12 months postoperatively. In about 25% of all cases, a post-operative event was mentioned that had to be revised surgically.

conclusionSurgical treatment with STSG and additional MatriDerm
