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.
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
backgroundBurn injuries, caused by heat, radiation, chemicals, electricity, or friction, are a major public health issue, accounting for an estimated 200,000 deaths globally each year and placing a significant socioeconomic burden on low-income countries. However, no published data address the clinical profile, causes, and outcomes of burn injuries in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the clinical profile, treatment outcomes, and related factors among patients admitted to the Emergency Center with burn injuries.
methodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Emergency Center of Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from June 30, 2021, to June 30, 2024. A census was used to include all 182 available burn patients. Data were collected from medical records reviews using a structured checklist. Data were entered into Epidata version 4.6 and analyzed using SPSS version 27. Descriptive analyses, including percentages, frequency distributions, and measures of central tendency, were performed. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with burn outcomes, with statistical significance set at P < 0.05.
resultsThe prevalence of poor treatment outcomes was 20.33% (95% CI: 14.4-26.2%). Factors including total body surface area greater than 30% (AOR = 12.63, 95% CI: 2.64-60.39), prehospital intervention (AOR = 4.29, 95% CI: 1.59-11.52), and patients with concomitant medical conditions (AOR = 5.19, 95% CI: 1.40-19.19) were significantly associated with poor treatment outcomes.
conclusionIn our study, about one-fifth of the participants experienced poor burn treatment outcomes. Additionally, a total body surface area greater than 30%, pre-hospital intervention, and concomitant medical conditions were the factors that were significantly associated with poor treatment outcomes. Therefore, emphasis should be given to the need for community-based burn prevention strategies, hospital-led public awareness campaigns, and pre-hospital burn management training for health facility professionals.
