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

objectivesThis study evaluates the association of total body surface area (TBSA) on surgical treatment outcomes and mortality rates in burn patients.

methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted on adult burn patients admitted to an Indonesian National Referral Hospital from January 2020 to November 2024. Factors associated with mortality, including age, TBSA, and surgery count, were analyzed using the SPSS software version 26.

resultsThis study included 595 patients, with a mean age of 41.74 ± 14.95 years and a male predominance (

conclusionTBSA remains the principal driver of burn outcomes, with mortality risk rising sharply beyond ~34%. Early deaths in the largest burn group explain the paradox of fewer operations despite extensive injury.
