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

Introduction: Pressure ulcers in diabetic patients represent a significant clinical challenge due to impaired wound healing mechanisms. This case demonstrates the successful use of ozonated oil as adjunctive therapy for a recalcitrant grade 4 pressure ulcer in a complex diabetic patient with multiple comorbidities. Case Presentation: A 60-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus (HbA1c 8.2%), hypertension, chronic alcoholism, and liver cirrhosis developed a grade 4 sacral pressure ulcer (6.5 × 6.3 × 2.4 cm) during hospitalization. The wound showed positive cultures for Conclusion: This case suggests ozonated oil may serve as an effective adjunctive therapy for chronic pressure ulcers in diabetic patients with multiple comorbidities when conventional treatments fail. The multifactorial therapeutic benefits include antimicrobial activity, enhanced tissue repair, and modulation of inflammatory responses.
