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

Purpose: Dermal matrices can be used in management of upper-extremity wounds to create vascularized wound beds in the setting of exposed bone or tendon. Early outcomes of Novosorb biodegradable temporizing matrix (BTM) demonstrated success when used in the treatment of complex wounds. We hypothesize that BTM is effective for reconstruction of upper-extremity wounds. Methods: A retrospective review was performed for patients who underwent reconstruction of upper-extremity wounds with BTM between January 2017 and May 2022. Results: In total, 51 patients (39 males and 12 females) were included. Wound etiology included trauma (n = 30), burn (n = 12), infection (n = 8), and vasopressor-related injury (n = 1). The average size of BTM was 162.5 cm Conclusions: Novosorb BTM is effective for the management of upper-extremity wounds with exposed bone and tendon. Clinical relevance: In the management of complex upper-extremity wounds with exposed bone and tendon, even when devoid of paratenon or periosteum, Novosorb BTM provides a safe and effective alternative to more complex reconstructive options.
