Basic research and clinical exploration of cold atmospheric plasma for skin wounds.
Article in Bioengineering & translational medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Skin wounds, such as burns, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, and wounds formed after laser or surgical treatment, comprise a very high proportion of dermatological disorders. Wounds are treated in a variety of ways; however, some wounds are greatly resistant, resulting in delayed healing and an urgent need to introduce new alternatives. Our previous studies have shown that cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has antibacterial activity and promotes cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration in vitro. To further advance the role of CAP in wound healing, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of CAP in vitro by irradiation of common refractory bacteria on the skin, irradiation of normal skin of rats and observing reactions, treatment of scald wounds in rats, and treating clinically common acute wounds. Our findings revealed that CAP can eliminate refractory skin bacteria in vitro; CAP positively affected wound healing in a rat scalding wound model; and direct CAP irradiation of low intensity and short duration did not lead to skin erythema or edema. CAP promises to be a new, economical, and safe means of wound treatment.
