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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the clinical application of Wound Care Ointment combined with Vaseline gauze for the repair of split-thickness skin graft donor sites.

methodsA total of 64 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included. The study group (32 patients) used Vaseline gauze lined with Wound Care Ointment to close the split - thickness skin graft donor sites, while Vaseline gauze was applied directly to the donor sites in the control group (32 patients). Demographic data, wound infection conditions, epithelialization time, the time of the first postoperative outer gauze replacement, Visual analogue scale (VAS) during the first postoperative outer gauze change and the number of layers of bleeding gauze were recorded for the selected patients.

resultsThe epithelialization time of the donor site wound in the study group was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(10.09±0.93) days vs. (10.78±0.94) days, P<0.05]; VAS for the first postoperative change of the outer gauze in the study group was lower than that in the control group (2.47±0.84 vs. 3.53±1.14, P<0.05); the time for the first postoperative change of the outer gauze in the study group was later than that in the control group [(6.38±0.91) days vs. (5.78±1.26) days, P<0.05]; and the number of layers of bleeding gauze during the first postoperative change of the outer dressing in the study group was less than that in the control group (6.72±1.02 vs. 7.50±1.08, P<0.05).

conclusionWound Care Ointment is beneficial for the wound healing of split-thickness skin graft donor sites, which prolongs the first postoperative dressing change, reduces pain during the removal of the inner layer dressing, provides excellent wound protection and shortens the healing time. Therefore, Wound Care Ointment can be recommended for the repair of split-thickness skin graft donor sites.
