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

Electrical burns present a therapeutic challenge due to the depth and extent of tissue damage. Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) has emerged as a promising alternative for complex wound coverage. Our objective is to describe the use of ADM in electrical burns. We present the case of a 52-year-old male patient with an 11.5% total body surface area electrical burn on the left side of the neck who was treated with surgical debridement and ADM application directly onto the prepared wound bed and secured with sutures and dressings. It acts as a scaffold for the patient's tissue regeneration, and an autologous skin graft is subsequently placed. Tissue integration and functional outcomes were evaluated six months after the initial injury. ADM facilitated dermal regeneration, reduced skin contracture, and improved both cosmetic and functional outcomes. ADM is a viable option for the management and coverage of electrical burn injuries, promoting wound healing and reducing complications.
