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

Hypergranulation in chronic wounds reflects impaired healing, leading to delayed recovery, increased risk of infection and higher treatment costs for healthcare systems. Despite its impact, hypergranulation is often misidentified in the early stages, hindering timely intervention. This study presents a deep learning-based method to distinguish between hypergranulated and non-hypergranulated tissue. The dataset comprised 6235 wound images from Hospital de la Santa Creu de Vic (Catalonia, Spain) and DFUC 2022, with balanced classes. Five architectures were evaluated using transfer learning: ViT, VGG16, RepVGG, MobileViT and RepGhost. RepGhost achieved the best results (81.4% accuracy, 89.4% area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC]), outperforming both CNNs and transformers. Lightweight models (RepGhost, MobileViT) also demonstrated high performance, making them suitable for implementation on mobile devices. This tool may assist clinicians in the early detection of hypergranulation and improve wound treatment outcomes. This appears to be the first deep learning study on this condition to utilise a large, balanced dataset.
