Negative pressure wound therapy: an adjuvant to surgical reconstruction of large or difficult skin and soft tissue defects.
Article in International wound journal, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Wide and deep wound defects are a challenge to surgeons, particularly when aggressive or more radical operations are unavailable. This article introduces refined techniques, indications and the clinical experience of the application of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) as an easy ancillary wound dressing method for the reconstruction of large or difficult skin and soft tissue defects. The authors used NPWT on 88 patients as an adjuvant therapy before reconstructive surgery since 2006. NPWT was applied for two different treatment strategies: as an adjuvant therapy to facilitate the formation of a healthy wound bed and to reduce the size and depth of a defect. NPWT was used as an alternative dressing method for skin grafting for infants or mobile skin surfaces such as the neck, penis, dorsum of the hand, knee joint, abdomen, etc. There were no typical wound complications. NPWT application, if used appropriately, produces successful surgical reconstructions for large, deep skin and soft tissue defects without extensive or radical flap surgery or loss of skin graft.
