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

Chronic wounds are a syndrome that affects around 4% of the world population due to several pathologies. The COV-19 pandemic has enforced the need of developing new techniques and technologies that can help clinicians to monitor the affected patients easily and reliably. In this prospective observational study a new device, the Wound Viewer, that works through a memristor-based Discrete-Time Cellular Neural Network (DT-CNN) has been developed and tested through a clinical trial of 150 patients. The WV has been developed to serve as the state-of-art tool, capable to return the actual clinical information that is most needed by the caregivers: through the WBP scale, it classifies four classes of wounds by the type of tissue: A-only granular tissue; B-<50% slough; C->50% slough; D-necrosis. This work aims to describe in depth the technology and the computational techniques that have been implemented, and to demonstrate reliability in automatically identifying, classifying through internationally accepted clinical scales and measuring such wounds, that peaked to over a 90% of accuracy.
