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

Early assessment of the severity of frostbite injuries is critical for guiding clinical management and improving patient outcomes; however, tissue damage evolves dynamically and is difficult to predict during the acute phase. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) has previously demonstrated high accuracy in the early triage of thermal burn injuries. In this study, we evaluate the potential of the THz-TDS modality using a portable handheld scanner to assess the depth of frostbite wounds. A standardized
