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

Cold burn injury is a relatively uncommon type of burn and is especially rare in the tropics. We present an unusual case of cold burn injury secondary to prolonged contact with a cold surface in a tropical country. Failure of conservative treatment required early excision and reconstruction with free tissue transfer and dermal substitute grafting. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of such nature and severity described in a tropical setting. We discuss the differences in managing cold burn injuries compared to thermal burns, including considerations specific to warm climates.
