Use of Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix for Pediatric Tendoachilles Exposure: A Novel Technique in Complex Traumatic Wound Management-A Case Report.
Article in Indian journal of plastic surgery : official publication of the Association of Plastic Surgeons of India, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Management of complex wounds in the pediatric population is a herculean task due to the decreased surface area available for flaps and the added scars from flap reconstruction. Biodegradable temporizing matrix (BTM) has proven useful, particularly in adult burns and complex wounds. Only a few have documented the use of BTM in complex wounds in children. A 2-year-old child presented with tendoachilles exposure of the right ankle due to a crush injury in the spokes of a motorcycle. The wound was debrided and covered with BTM. After 5 weeks, the same was delaminated, healthy granulation tissue was found covering the tendoachilles, and the raw area was grafted. BTM proved to be a versatile option for converting a complex wound to a superficial wound, and it abetted the drawbacks of a flap cover: extended hospital stay, discomfort, prolonged immobilization, and additional scars.
