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

Community pharmacists are in a perfect position to offer comprehensive wound management advice to patients with both chronic and acute wounds, which can result in major costs and emotional burdens. A wound that is managed well through correct assessment, suitable treatment and follow-up counselling will heal optimally and essentially save patients costs and stress. The study aimed to explore the role of South African community pharmacists in wound management. A list of community pharmacies was requested from the South African Pharmacy Council and an online questionnaire was conducted in August 2022 using QuestionPro
