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

Chronic wounds including vascular ulcers, diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, and burn wounds show delayed progress through the healing process. Some of their common features are prolonged inflammation, persistent infection, and presence of biofilms resistant to antimicrobials and host immune response. Biofilm formation by opportunistic pathogens is a major problem in chronic wound management. Some of the commonly and traditionally used chronic wound management techniques are physical debridement and cleansing. In recent years, novel techniques based on anti-biofilm agents are explored to prevent biofilm-associated infections and facilitate wound healing. In this chapter, the role of biofilms formed by the ESKAPE pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Candida species in delayed wound healing have been discussed. The current and emerging techniques in the detection of biofilms for the management of wounds have been focused. The limitations of the existing therapeutics and novel wound management strategies have been deliberated.
