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

backgroundPost-burn pruritus (PBP) has been shown to adversely affect burn patients' quality of life. However, the predictors of PBP are not known. We hypothesize a pre-existing pruritic skin diagnosis is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes following a burn injury.

methodsThis retrospective study utilized data from the TriNetX electronic health record. Burn patients with a history of a pruritic skin disorder were compared to patients without a diagnosed skin disorder and the occurrence of pruritus was compared between the two cohorts.

resultsPatients with pre-existing skin conditions were more likely to develop PBP. The risk of PBP was highest 1 year after injury. Stratification by percent TBSA burned, gender, race, and age showed an increased risk of PBP for females, Caucasians, older patients, and those with large burns.

conclusionA pre-existing pruritic skin diagnosis is highly associated with developing pruritus following a burn injury.
