Results from Chaganti et al.’s systematic review comparing traditional SSD with gauze and foam dressings for the treatment of second-degree thermal burns [19]

Trial	Follow-up	Percentage of patients with complete healing (RR)	Time to complete healing
Silverstein et al. [35]	21 days post burn or until full reepithelization	1.2 [95%CI, 0.95–1.53]	Mean days: 17 for SSD vs 13 for foam dressing (p > 0.05)
Tang et al. [33]	28 days post burn or until full reepithelization	1.0 [95%CI, 0.85–1.17]	Median days: 15 for SSD vs 16 for foam dressing (p 0.74)
Yang et al. [34]	28 days post burn	1.0 [95% CI, 0.87–1.2]	Mean days: 25 ± 4 SD for SSD vs 22 ± 3 SD (p < 0.05)
