Could fasciotomy prevent amputation in patients with electrical burn injuries? Insights from a cross-sectional study in Indonesia.

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
The amputation rate resulting from electrical burn injuries remains high, yet no study has investigated whether early fasciotomy may reduce the amputation rate. The aim of this study was to analyze the success rate of fasciotomy in preventing amputation and determine the optimal timing for fasciotomy in electrical burn injuries. This study was conducted at Dr. Soetomo Hospital from January 2020 to July 2023. Total sampling was employed to recruit the patients. Clinical data, voltage characteristics, burn location, affected total body surface area, burn depth, hospital arrival time, and time interval from incident to fasciotomy were assessed. Chi-squared test was used to assess factors associated with the fasciotomy incidence and factors associated with amputation after fasciotomy. A total of 45 patients were included, of which 97.8% were male, with a mean age of 37.60 years old. Approximately 73% of patients had full-thickness burn injuries, with the left upper extremity being the most affected (80%). There are seven patients (15.6%) had fasciotomy and five (11.1%) patients had an amputation. Our data indicated a significant association between voltage characteristics and fasciotomy incidence (
