Can Cold Atmospheric Plasma Be Used for Infection Control in Burns? A Preclinical Evaluation.
Article in Biomedicines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Wound infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a serious complication and is responsible for higher rates of mortality in burn patients. Because of the resistance of PA to many antibiotics and antiseptics, an effective treatment is difficult. As a possible alternative, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) can be considered for treatment, as antibacterial effects are known from some types of CAP. Hence, we preclinically tested the CAP device PlasmaOne and found that CAP was effective against PA in various test systems. CAP induced an accumulation of nitrite, nitrate, and hydrogen peroxide, combined with a decrease in pH in agar and solutions, which could be responsible for the antibacterial effects. In an ex vivo contamination wound model using human skin, a reduction in microbial load of about 1 log
