Hydrogels for the management of second-degree burns: currently available options and future promise.
Review in Burns & trauma, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Burn wounds result from exposure to hot liquids, chemicals, fire, electric discharge or radiation. Wound severity ranges from first-degree injury, which is superficial, to fourth-degree injury, which exposes bone, tendons and muscles. Rapid assessment of burn depth and accurate wound management in the outpatient setting is critical to prevent injury progression into deeper layers of the dermis. Injury progression is of particular pertinence to second-degree burns, which are the most common form of thermal burn. As our understanding of wound healing advances, treatment options and technologies for second-degree burn management also evolve. Polymeric hydrogels are a class of burn wound dressings that adhere to tissue, absorb wound exudate, protect from the environment, can be transparent facilitating serial wound evaluation and, in some cases, enable facile removal for dressing changes. This review briefly describes the burn level classification and common, commercially available dressings used to treat second-degree burns, and then focuses on new polymeric hydrogel burn dressings under preclinical development analyzing their design, structure and performance. The review presents the follow key learning points: (1) introduction to the integument system and the wound-healing process; (2) classification of burns according to severity and clinical appearance; (3) available dressings currently used for second-degree burns; (4) introduction to hydrogels and their preparation and characterization techniques; and (5) pre-clinical hydrogel burn wound dressings currently being developed.
