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

Cutaneous functional units (CFUs) offer considerable potential to enhance the burn community's understanding of how burn injuries and resulting scars affect movement. However, the lack of a clear and comprehensive schema for calculating and locating CFUs has led to confusion and limited their applicability. The goal of this short communication is to provide an update on the CFU schema in table and figure format to encourage uniform use of a common model for consistent application of CFU principles and mapping in burn care and other professional fields concerned with skin movement.
