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
backgroundSecondary infections are the leading cause of death in burn patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of open and closed burn dressings on the development of secondary infections.
methodsTissue cultures were obtained from the burn sites of 56 patients between the ages of 18 and 65 who were admitted to our burn unit between December 2022 and January 2023, on days 3 and 7. The impact of the demographic features of the patients, the characteristics of the burn wound, the dressing type, and the first intervention strategies given to the burn wound on the development of wound infection were evaluated.
resultsThere was no statistically significant difference between the open- and closed-dressing groups in terms of cultural positiv-ity (P>0.05). A statistically significant difference (P=0.019) was found between the groups in terms of culture positivity among those whose wounds were cleansed with warm water as the initial intervention after a burn and those whose wounds were not.
conclusionEven though the main impacts of the patient's variables on the development of a wound infection are recognized, it has been found that the appropriate and successful first intervention in a burn wound is also quite important.
