Vitamin-supplemented medical-grade honey for burn wound management in cats and dogs: a retrospective case series.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Burn wounds in companion animals are uncommon but can lead to serious complications and be life-threatening, requiring prompt and effective wound care. Conventional treatment methods often involve silver- or antibiotic-based products, which carry disadvantages such as cytotoxicity and risk of antimicrobial resistance. Medical-grade honey (MGH), especially when supplemented with vitamins C and E, offers a potential alternative due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of vitamin-supplemented MGH in the management of burn wounds in cats and dogs. Methods: A retrospective, multi-center case series was conducted across three veterinary clinics in Romania, Greece, and the Netherlands. Nine cases involving cats ( Results: All patients achieved complete wound healing without complications. On average, signs of inflammation reduced within 5.2 ± 2.0 days (mean ± SD), debridement occurred in 6.7 ± 2.2 days, granulation tissue appeared after 11.7 ± 4.1 days, re-epithelialization was shown in 23.6 ± 5.9 days, and full wound closure was achieved in 64.7 ± 20.7 days. These clinical outcomes varied between individual cases, depending on wound age, size, severity, location, and patient characteristics. Conclusion: Vitamin-supplemented MGH showed promising outcomes in promoting wound healing in feline and canine burn patients. However, the small sample size, retrospective design, and lack of a control group limit the generalizability of these findings.
