Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chronic burn injuries complicated by MRSA and multidrug-resistant infections: a case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2026. 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 and importance: Burn injuries are frequently complicated by multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms and methicillin-resistant Case presentation: A 43-year-old male sustained lava-related burns involving 15% of total body surface area, affecting the lower back and bilateral lower extremities. Initial management included antibiotics and surgical debridement; however, persistent MDR infection developed, including MRSA and extensively drug-resistant Clinical discussion: HBOT likely contributed to enhanced wound healing through increased tissue oxygenation, promotion of granulation, neutrophil activation, and disruption of bacterial biofilms. The combined approach of HBOT, repeated debridement, targeted antibiotics, pain management, and rehabilitation facilitated near-complete epithelialization (~90%) and functional recovery. Safety was ensured through rigorous monitoring, with no adverse events reported. Conclusion: Adjunctive HBOT may enhance infection control and accelerate healing in chronic burn injuries complicated by MDR organisms. Early integration with surgical and antimicrobial management should be considered in complex, non-healing burns, particularly when conventional therapy is insufficient.
