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

Burns of the posterior trunk are challenging to manage due to constant pressure, shear stress, and exudate accumulation, which increase the risk of graft detachment and infection. Autologous skin cell suspension (ASCS) is effective for donor-site conservation but may be difficult to retain on posterior trunk wounds. We report two cases of partial-thickness burns treated with ASCS in combination with high-expansion (1:9) Meek grafting. In both cases, debridement was performed using a hydrosurgical system, followed by the application of ASCS and Meek grafts. Rapid epithelialization was achieved, and donor skin harvesting was minimized. These results suggest that combining ASCS with Meek grafting may facilitate wound healing and donor-site conservation in posterior trunk burns, which are often difficult to manage.
