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

This study investigates the potential of wound bed temperature, measured using an IR camera, to aid in the clinical assessment of chronic wounds. The study captured thermal images from 267 patients with chronic wounds (diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers and arterial ulcers) with corresponding photographic images and clinical data. Temperature measurements were extracted from thermal images, focusing on both the centre of the wound and the surrounding periwound skin. Statistical analyses were employed to evaluate the relationship between wound temperature distribution and clinical diagnosis. The results showed a strong correlation between wound centre temperature and the average temperature across the entire wound (R
