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

Currently, the clinical diagnosis of burn depth primarily relies on physicians' judgements based on patients' symptoms and physical signs, particularly the morphological characteristics of the wound. This method highly depends on individual doctors' clinical experience, proving challenging for less experienced or primary care physicians, with results often varying from one practitioner to another. Therefore, scholars have been exploring an objective and quantitative auxiliary examination technique to enhance the accuracy and consistency of burn depth diagnosis. Non-invasive medical imaging technology, with its significant advantages in examining tissue surface morphology, blood flow in deep and changes in structure and composition, has become a hot topic in burn diagnostic technology research in recent years. This paper reviews various non-invasive medical imaging technologies that have shown potential in burn depth diagnosis. These technologies are summarized and synthesized in terms of imaging principles, current research status, advantages and limitations, aiming to provide a reference for clinical application or research for burn specialists.
