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

Background and Aims: Atypical wounds comprise about 20% of all chronic wounds. Their diagnosis and treatment are challenging and require multidisciplinary cooperation. More knowledge is needed about the clinical characteristics and comorbidities of atypical wounds to enhance the treatment of these wounds. Methods: We studied clinical characteristics and comorbidities of the atypical wounds by using the patient data retrieved from the Oulu University Hospital patient database from the year 1996 to the end of 2019 with the following International Classification of Diseases codes: L88, L95.0, L95.8, L95.9, and L98.1. Results: In our data, there were 135 patients with atypical wound, more commonly seen in females ( Conclusion: Specific comorbidities associated with atypical wounds, such as high psychiatric comorbidity in factitious wounds. There is a female predominance in atypical wounds and patients are typically younger than patients with other types of wounds. Recognition of the typical clinical picture and comorbidities of atypical wounds may help in identifying these patients and thus also improving their treatment.
