First aid practices about wounds and burns in rural areas: an example from western Turkey.
Article in BMC research notes, 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
backgroundTraditional methods are still widely accepted and used by most people worldwide.
objectiveThis study was conducted to determine first-aid practices about wounds and burns in rural areas.
methodsThis cross-sectional descriptive study recruited a total of 176 people who agreed to participate. During the data collection, a questionnaire prepared by the researcher in line with the literature information was used. Analysed data are presented as percentage distributions, mean and chi-square tests.
resultsThe most frequently encountered situations requiring first aid are sharp object injuries 31.2%, blunt injuries 30.1%, burn injuries 25.5%, and sudden loss of consciousness 13.0%. About 59.1% of them used traditional practices (scrubbing, mixing cattle feces with ash, smashing olives, wrapping tarhana(traditional turkish soup) in sprain injuries. For burn injuries, 34.1% of them used traditional first-aid practices (such as applying honey, oil, yogurt etc.).
conclusionsThe results of this study indicate that the most common situations requiring first aid were injuries caused by sharp objects, blunt force trauma, and burns. Traditional methods were frequently used, particularly for closed injuries, burns, and insect bites. There is a pressing need for public education on evidence-based first-aid practices and further research into the safety and effectiveness of traditional remedies.
