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
backgroundBurns are a leading cause of accident-related mortality, following motor vehicle accidents and drowning. Burn wound healing is influenced by several factors, including the degree, depth, and cause of the burn. This study aimed to compare and evaluate the effects of 1% silver sulfadiazine, 0.2% nitrofurazone, propolis vehicle, 10% water-soluble propolis, and 15% water-soluble propolis on partial-thickness burn wound healing using histopathological assessment.
methodsIn this randomized controlled experimental study, rats were randomly assigned to six groups: control, silver sulfadiazine, nitrofurazone, propolis vehicle, 10% water-soluble propolis, and 15% water-soluble propolis. The animals were anesthetized before burn induction. Four contact burns were created on each rat, and wound areas were measured and recorded. Tissue samples were collected from the wound sites for histopathological examination.
resultsRats treated with 15% water-soluble propolis had significantly smaller wound areas on days 7 (p=0.019 and p=0.047), 14 (p=0.01 and p=0.033), and 21 (p=0.00 and p=0.040) compared with the control and propolis vehicle groups, respectively. Histopathological evaluation on day 14 revealed differences favoring the propolis-treated groups in terms of fibroblast proliferation, collagen deposition, fibrosis, and mononuclear cell infiltration (p=0.017).
conclusionThe application of water-soluble propolis to burn wounds in rats appears to promote wound healing.
