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

White phosphorus and phosphorus oxide (PO) burns combine thermal and chemical injury, causing deep, progressive necrosis and systemic inflammation. This study evaluated whether carbon dots (CDs) synthesized from citric acid and urea can improve healing of PO-induced skin burns and reduce systemic damage. CDs showed broad antimicrobial activity, most pronounced against Staphylococcus aureus. Application of CD-containing dressings stabilized burn progression, preventing early aggravation and excessive edema, while promoting transient epithelial proliferation during the first week post-burn. Systemically, CDs normalized elevated white blood cell and neutrophil counts, restored lymphocyte balance, and suppressed IL-6 elevation, confirming anti-inflammatory action. They also mitigated erythrocyte loss and anemia development without affecting liver or kidney function. Overall, CD topical application demonstrated antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and cytoprotective effects, moderating PO burn progression and supporting balanced wound repair. These findings identify carbon dots as a promising multifunctional platform for the treatment of complex chemical-thermal skin injuries.
