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

Depression is a significant comorbidity among patients with chronic wounds. It is known to delay wound healing by interfering with adherence to medical interventions and impairing physical and cognitive functioning. This case report describes a 38-year-old immunocompetent woman who presented with multiple complex chronic wounds. The patient was admitted to the medical wards and subsequently diagnosed with severe major depressive disorder. Factors contributing to depression in individuals with chronic wounds are not well understood. We employed a multidisciplinary approach to wound care to address the factors that contributed to her presentation.
