Canadian Consensus Statement for the Management of Venous Leg Ulcers.
Article in International wound journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
To develop a concise Consensus Statement on the management of venous leg ulcers (VLUs) that incorporates existing standards and guidance on new technology, including improvement of calf muscle pump function and the utilisation of advanced wound therapies. A multidisciplinary panel of 19 wound healthcare providers from across Canada, who treat patients with VLUs, was formed. A draft document was created and four rounds of consultation and feedback were sought from the panel. The Consensus Statement was completed in June 2024 with 100% consensus on 20 sections and > 85% consensus on the remaining three sections. The key elements are-Clinical assessment and investigations; Treatment-compression to improve calf muscle pump function, and wound treatment with the principles of Wound Bed Preparation; When not healing or only suboptimal compression can be used - add treatment with muscle pump activator by continuous Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation of the common peroneal nerve to improve calf muscle pump function; When VLUs are not healing with optimal therapy - an algorithm for the use of advanced wound therapies; and Prevention of VLU recurrence. The Consensus Statement is a concise guide for healthcare providers to use at the bedside and has been endorsed by leading nursing and homecare associations in Canada that also have physician representation.
