Development of the BWAT-CUA Scale to Assess Wounds in Patients with Calciphylaxis.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA; calciphylaxis) is a severe form of vascular calcification with no approved therapies. A standardized wound assessment tool is needed to evaluate changes in calciphylaxis wounds over time. A prospective, single-arm study of 14 patients with calciphylaxis reported improvement for the primary endpoint of wound healing using the 13-item Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT), although that tool was developed for assessment of pressure ulcers. This report describes development of BWAT-CUA, an 8-item modification of BWAT focusing on prototypical features of calciphylaxis lesions. The BWAT-CUA has a range of 8 (best) to 40 (worst) and was used ad hoc to analyze BWAT data collected in the prospective study. Using BWAT-CUA, relative improvement in calciphylaxis wounds was 30% overall (from 21.2 to 14.9;
