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

Burn injuries pose a significant challenge in resource-limited settings, particularly during humanitarian crises. This study examines the epidemiology, management, and outcomes of burn patients at a tertiary hospital in Damascus, Syria, from 2021 to 2024. A single-centre retrospective cohort study was conducted on 500 admitted burn patients. Data on demographics, injury characteristics, management, complications and mortality were analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, Mann-Whitney U tests and binary logistic regression. The lethal area 50% (LA50) was estimated using the logistic regression equation:
