Mortality Rate Among Burn Patients at the Specialized Burns Hospital in Baghdad Medical Complex From 2019 to 2023: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This retrospective study was conducted on patients with burn injuries to assess the extent of damage and evaluate the associated mortality rate in the Specialized Burns Hospital in the Baghdad Medical Complex, Baghdad, Iraq, from 2019 to 2023, and to correlate mortality with age, sex, cause of burn, burn depth, and surface area. A convenient sampling of 593 patients' data was collected using a self-designed form and was taken from the medical records of burn patients at their first discharge. The results showed that the highest mortality rate was among 15-30-year-olds; females had the highest record in comparison to males; 2020 had the highest mortality rate; and second- and third-degree mixed burns had the highest record for mortality rate (50%-75%). The total body surface area (TBSA) burn range of 75%-100% accounted for the highest number of admissions and also had the highest mortality rate. Multiple organ failure was the main complication in comparison to sepsis. Regarding treatment, the mortality rate was 26.7% among patients who underwent surgical intervention and 73% among those admitted to the ICU. All data were collected by the hospital's manual paper-based system instead of a computerized one.
