Is Shock Wave Application Effective on Various Chronic Wounds in the Geriatric Population? Preliminary Clinical Study.
Trial report in Clinical interventions in aging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Purpose: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a beneficial adjunct modality for chronic wounds. Limited research has been conducted on pressure ulcers (PUs), while the majority of studies have focused on diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and venous leg ulcers (VLUs). This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of radial ESWT in older adults with chronic wounds. Patients and Methods: This study involved a total of 31 wounds: PUs (n=22), VLUs (n=7), and DFUs (n=2). A single radial ESWT was performed with 300 + 100 shocks per cm Results: A significant wound decrease in planimetry was noted (pre-ESWT vs post-ESWT), with wound area from 9.4 cm Conclusion: The ESWT application yields substantial immediate clinical effects that support the healing of chronic wounds in older adults. Even a single ESWT session can prove to be clinically effective and beneficial in the management of chronic wounds.
