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

Split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) are commonly used to treat soft-tissue defects. Harvesting a STSG creates an additional partial thickness wound at the donor site which must be managed. Many dressings are commercially available for the management of STSG donor sites; however, there is no evidence-based consensus on optimal dressing for site management. Urinary bladder matrix (UBM) is an extracellular matrix that acts as a structural support for tissue remodeling and provides molecular components for repair. Common clinical applications of UBM include coverage of deep wounds, burns, and irradiated skin. Skin grafting from the lower extremities poses a challenge due to the increased dermal tension. UBM-based reconstruction is an alternative method of managing lower extremity skin graft donor sites. This case study demonstrates the use of UBM in the reconstruction of a STSG donor site of the anterolateral thigh, which resulted in satisfactory healing, no pain, and excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes.
