Holistic Treatment Incorporating Moist Wound Healing for Postoperative Radiation-Induced Perineal Ulcer in Rectal Malignancy: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in dermatology. 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
Introduction: Radiation-induced perineal ulcers are often refractory to conventional dry exposure therapies. This article reports a case of extensive radiation-induced ulceration successfully managed using a moist wound healing protocol. Case Presentation: A 67-year-old male developed progressive perianal, scrotal, and penile ulceration following radiotherapy for rectal carcinoma. Four weeks of conventional dry exposure therapy proved ineffective. Upon admission, the patient was transitioned to a holistic treatment incorporating moist wound healing. This approach resulted in complete reepithelialization of the lesions within 1 week. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the limitations of dry healing protocols for radiation-induced cutaneous injuries. The application of moist wound healing principles provided rapid efficacy. This offers a valuable clinical strategy for managing refractory perineal radiation ulcers.
