Electrical Burns: A Retrospective Study at the Lebanese Burn Center in Geitaoui Hospital, Lebanon (2011-2024).
Observational study 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 3 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
Electrical burns are among the most severe burn injuries, often leading to deep tissue damage, systemic complications, and prolonged hospitalisation. In Lebanon, limited national data on electrical burn injuries limits the understanding of their epidemiology and management. This study aims to assess the prevalence and characteristics of electrical burns in patients admitted to the specialised burn care unit in Geitaoui Hospital in Lebanon. A retrospective observational study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of patients admitted from 1st January 2011 to 31st December 2024. Data on demographics, burn characteristics, hospitalisation outcomes, infections, surgical interventions, and laboratory findings were extracted and analysed using SPSS version 26. Thirty patients were included, with a male predominance (96.7%) and the mean age was 29.6 years. Third-degree burns were observed in 70.0% of cases, and 66.7% of patients had burns affecting 10%-30% of their total body surface area. High-voltage injuries accounted for 50.0% of cases. Upper extremities were the most commonly affected site (93.3%). The mean hospital stay was 25.69 days, and the mortality rate was 10.0%. Infection was documented in 43.3% of cases. The most frequently isolated pathogens were Acinetobacter (20.0%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16.7%). Surgical intervention was required in 63.3% of patients, most frequently skin grafting (36.7%). This study contributes national data on electrical burns and emphasises the importance of preventive and multidisciplinary care strategies.
