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

This retrospective descriptive epidemiological study aimed to investigate the incidence of burns during the cold season compared to other times of the year and to identify associated risk factors and clinical characteristics among hospitalized patients. A total of 402 medical records of patients admitted to the burn unit at the Department of Surgery, Udon Thani Hospital, between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2024, were reviewed. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze demographic characteristics and incidence. Comparisons between the cold season and other seasons were conducted, and associations between risk factors and clinical outcomes were tested using the Chi-square test. The incidence of burns increased over the three-year period. Incidence during the cold season was 1.65 times higher than in other seasons (OR=1.65). Most patients were elderly females, and the majority of burns occurred due to domestic accidents. Adults were significantly more likely to sustain severe burns than other age groups (χ
