A Review of Electrocardiography Changes in Electrical Burn Injury: Is It Time To Revise Protocol?
Review in Annals of burns and fire disasters, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate electrocardiography (ECG) changes in patients with electrical burn injury and determine their predictive extent during hospitalization. The study population consisted of all patients with electrical injury admitted to Velayat Hospital, Rasht, Iran, during 2007-2019. The ECG information of all patients assessed by a cardiologist in terms of dysrhythmic and ischemic changes at the time of admission, demographic information including age, gender, voltage, the severity and path of the current, and degree of burn were recorded in the relevant checklist. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software version 18 (IBM, USA). Out of 192 studied patients, 183 (95%) were male, and the mean age of patients was 32 years. The ECGs of 167 patients were normal (86%), 13 cases had arrhythmia (6.7%), and 12 individuals had ischemia (6.2%). Arrhythmic and ischemic abnormalities in the ECGs of patients had no predictive value during hospitalization (P<0.05). Heart injury caused by electrical injury may be deadly in some cases, and it can be complicated to save the patient. Moreover, the predictive value of ECG in predicting the consequences and duration of hospitalization is weak.
