Enhanced healing of wounds that responded poorly to silver dressing by copper wound dressings: Prospective single arm treatment study.
Article in Health science reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Background and Aims: Dressings containing silver ions are an accepted and common option for wound treatment. However, some wounds fail to heal at the desired rate despite optimal management. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of copper dressings in noninfected wounds. Methods: The study included 20 patients aged 18-85 years with 2-30 cm Results: Five patients dropped out from the study due to complications not related to the wound. The mean period of silver and copper dressings treatment was 25.6 and 29.6 days, respectively ( Conclusions: The enhanced wound healing process observed with the copper dressings may be explained by the integral role of copper throughout all physiological skin repair processes. Silver in contrast has no physiological role in wound healing. The results of our study confirm case reports showing enhanced wound healing of hard-to-heal wounds with copper dressings, both of infected and noninfected wounds. Taken together, the results of the current study support the hypothesis that the application of copper dressings in situ for noninfected wounds results in the stimulation of the wound healing processes, as opposed to silver dressings.
