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

A burn injury affects a person's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in different ways and might influence their daily life for months and years afterward. The aim of this study was to examine how activity performance and subjective scar estimation relate to self-rated health and whether this changes in the first year post-burn. Fifty consecutive patients who were scheduled for follow-up at the Burn Center's outpatient clinic in Uppsala were included. Assessments of HRQoL (EQ-5D), activity performance (DASH), and subjective scar evaluation (POSAS) were conducted at 6 and 12 months post-burn. The results show a statistically significant correlation between self-rated HRQoL and activity performance (
