Emergency Treatment of Burns in Adults-Characteristics of Adult Patients and Acute/Pre-Hospital Burn Management.
Article in European burn journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundBurns represent one of the most severe injuries encountered in the pre-hospital and ED environment, with essential features and an often negatively powerful impact on patients' quality of life. Preventive measures can significantly reduce the number of cases presenting to medical facilities; knowledge and the correct application of first aid measures in the pre-hospital stage have a significant role in reducing the risk of complications and in obtaining optimal outcomes.
methodsThis retrospective one-year single-center study analyzed 399 adult burn patients treated at the Clinical Emergency Hospital of Bucharest (CEHB) in 2023. Information concerning the main characteristics of the patients (age, sex, and residence), etiology and severity of burns, and pre-hospital management of patients was analyzed.
resultsMost patients (63.41%) resided in urban areas, with a higher prevalence of males (55.89%). Thermal burns accounted for 77.69% of cases, primarily caused by water, food, oil, or flames. Burns covered ≤10% TBSA in 77.19% of cases, while 6.52% extended beyond 50% TBSA. First aid was provided to 52.63% of patients at the accident site, often by non-specialized individuals. The mean time to presentation was 34.90 h, with significant correlations between time, age, burned body surface area, and burn depth.
conclusionsThere is a real need for improvements in first-aid training and health initiatives to enhance pre-hospital burn care. Better documentation of the care provided to patients before being admitted to specialized centers, as well as further studies in this field, are absolutely necessary for improving prevention programs and burn management in the acute stage.
