Clinical Use of Apis mellifera Honey Membrane in Second- and Third-Degree Burns: A Retrospective Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundBurn management requires cost-effective, antimicrobial dressings, especially in resource-limited settings. We evaluated the clinical performance of a unilaminar
methodsA retrospective case series was conducted at a tertiary hospital. Ten adults with second-degree (n = 5, 50%) and third-degree (n = 5, 50%) burns received unilaminar honey membrane (Bio-film®, Biomed Centroamérica, Guatemala City, Guatemala) application over the affected area.
resultsTen patients (nine males and one female; mean age of 44.2 years) were included. Etiologies comprised scalds (5, 50%), fire (2, 20%), electrical (2, 20%), and contact (1, 10%) burns. A total of 11 lesions were treated. Second-degree burns achieved complete closure with a single application in a mean of 7.4 days (95% CI: 5.3-9.5). Third-degree burns required two to four applications to achieve a graft-ready bed in a mean of 17.7 days (95% CI: 13.4-22.0). All skin grafts (100%) integrated successfully. Tolerance was excellent, with only one patient reporting transient pain. Pre-graft cultures showed superficial colonization in two (33%) of the six deep wounds, with no signs of clinical infection.
