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

NovoSorb biodegradable temporising matrix (BTM) has emerged as an effective material in the resurfacing of pathologies requiring extensive debridement or tissue loss, such as burns, necrotising soft tissue infections, and tumour excision. The use of BTM in cases of reconstructive salvage following graft failure is less well documented in the literature. We report a case of a 70-year-old female who initially underwent a wide local excision of a large chest wall basal cell carcinoma and full-thickness skin grafting of the resulting defect. Following graft failure and re-debridement, BTM application and consequent split-thickness grafting resulted in a successful reconstructive salvage and cosmetic outcome. This case reinforces the wide-ranging application of BTM in the reconstructive setting, and highlights the effectiveness of BTM in cases of graft failure requiring reconstructive salvage.
