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

The accuracy of clinical assessment techniques in diagnosing partial-thickness burn injuries has remained as low as 50-76%. Depending on the burn depth and environmental factors in the wound, such as reactive oxygen species, inflammation, and autophagy, partial-thickness burns can heal spontaneously or require surgical intervention. Herein, it is demonstrated that terahertz time-domain spectral imaging (THz-TDSI) is a promising tool for in vivo quantitative assessment and monitoring of partial-thickness burn injuries in large animals. We used a novel handheld THz-TDSI scanner to characterize burn injuries in a porcine scald model with histopathological controls. Statistical analysis (n= 40) indicates that the THz-TDSI modality can accurately differentiate between partial-thickness and full-thickness burn injuries (1-way ANOVA, p< 0.05). THz-TDSI has the potential to improve burn care outcomes by helping surgeons in making objective decisions for early excision of the wound.
