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

Marjolin's ulcer (MU), the most frequently encountered form of squamous cell carcinoma arising in burn scars, may manifest either acutely - within the first year post-injury - or as a chronic condition, sometimes developing decades later. It is estimated that Marjolin's ulcers represent a small percentage of all cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas originating in non-grafted burn scars that have healed by secondary intention. The early surgical grafting of burn wounds has been suggested as a potential preventive measure against malignant transformation. Marjolin's ulcers are characteristically aggressive, often associated with poor clinical outcomes and very high recurrence rates. We highlight a presentation mimicking necrotizing soft tissue infection in a previously grafted burn scar.
