Differences between protocol and review
Two trials that compared active interventions allocated wounds to the interventions rather than participants (Oluwatosin 2000; Okeniyi 2005). The participants had multiple wounds in many cases and some participants would have received both interventions. The data in these trials was presented by wound and thus could not be combined (if possible) with trials where data was presented by participant. Such a scenario was not foreseen in the protocol where it was assumed data would be presented by participant. Presenting data by wound rather than by participant inappropriately increases the power of a study. These trials were excluded from this review.
