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
Objective: To investigate the effects of punctate skin grafting combined with or without irrigation on skin graft survival, redness and swelling score and pain in the treatment of large-area residual burn wounds. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 102 patients with large-area burns treated in Huangshi Central Hospital from May 2017 to May 2020. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into combination group (treated with punctate skin grafting combined with irrigation) and grafting group (mainly treated with punctate skin grafting). The positive rate of bacterial culture of wound secretions, pain score and redness and swelling score were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Additionally, linear logistic analysis of the influencing factors was carried out. Results: The positive rate of bacterial culture of wound secretions decreased to 29.4% in the combination group and 49.0% in the grafting group (p< 0.05). The skin graft survival rate of the combination group was (82.17 ± 7.44) %, which was higher than that of the grafting group (61.53 ± 7.46) %, the wound healing time was (14.56 ± 3.51) d, which was shorter than that of the grafting group (21.36 ± 4.69) d, and the pain score (3.26 ± 0.36) and redness and swelling score (1.16 ± 0.68) were lower than those of the grafting group (4.79± 0.46) and (2.56 ± 0.85), respectively (all p< 0.05). The wound healing time was positively correlated with pain score (r = 0.767, p< 0.05) and redness and swelling score (r = 0.672, p< 0.05), while negatively correlated with skin graft survival rate (r= -0.289, P<0.01), meeting linear equation y = -8.451 + 4.542a + 0.087b + 1.012c (a, pain score; b, skin graft survival rate; c, redness and swelling score). Conclusions: Punctate skin grafting combined with irrigation in the treatment of large-area residual burn wounds presents great effects on skin graft survival, redness and swelling score and pain, and is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
