Use of Infrared Thermometry to Observe Temperature Variation Associated with the Healing Process in Wounds and Ulcers: TIHUAP Cohort Study Protocol.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
We are interested in observing how temperature differences between the wound bed and perilesional skin are related to the healing process in primary care patients with wounds. Multisite prospective cohort study with one-year follow-up in the Metropolitan North area of Barcelona. Recruitment of patients over 18 years with an open wound will take place from January 2023 to September 2023. Temperature checks will be conducted on a weekly basis at control visits and wound care. The following variables will be measured: Percentage reduction of wound area over time, thermal index, the Kundin Wound Gauge, and the Resvech 2.0 Scale. The temperature will be measured weekly using a handheld thermometer and mesh grid to frame the temperature points. The healing trajectory will also be monitored on a monthly basis via photographic imaging, the Resvech Scale, calculation of wound size, percentage reduction of wound area over time, and thermal index for one year of follow-up or until the wound is cured. This study may represent a turning point for its introduction into primary care. Early diagnosis of wound complications would facilitate treatment decision-making for healthcare professionals, thus improving the management of resources related to chronic wounds.
