Clinical Study of Clay Pot Combined With Thunder Fire Moxibustion in the Treatment of Chronic Refractory Wounds in Department of Orthopedics.
Trial report in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 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 Chronic refractory wounds in orthopedic patients not only impede physical recovery but also cause sleep disturbances due to treatment-related anxiety. This study aims to investigate the effects of combining clay pot therapy with thunder-fire moxibustion on the wound healing and sleep quality of patients with chronic refractory wounds. MATERIAL AND METHODS From June 2022 to December 2024, 60 patients in the department of orthopedics of a class III hospital in Guangdong Province were randomly divided into an observation group (n=30) and control group (n=30). The control group received conventional treatment, including anti-infective therapy for chronic wounds, debridement, measures to improve microcirculation, and neurotrophic support. The observation group received clay pot therapy combined with thunder-fire moxibustion in addition to the treatments administered to the control group. Wound healing rate, local symptom scores, pain scores, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS After the intervention, the observation group achieved a significantly higher cure rate (26.67% vs 3.33%), lower local symptom scores (5.08±1.60 vs 7.02±1.89), lower pain scores (1.89±2.06 vs 2.97±1.98), and better Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores (9.58±1.56 vs 11.30±2.15), compared with the control group (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Clay pot combined with thunder-fire moxibustion in the treatment of chronic refractory wounds in the orthopedics department can promote wound healing, improve sleep quality, and improve the clinical curative effect.
