1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionNegative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in the open abdomen (OA) is recognized as a gold standard management method. Currently minimally invasive procedures are implemented in many clinical scenarios.

aimTo demonstrate the feasibility of using negative pressure wound therapy in a laparoscopic approach for OA management in a porcine model termed as a laparoscopic vacuum (LapVac). MATERIAL AND

methodsAn adult female swine underwent a laparoscopic procedure. Briefly, a small incision was made and secured with a wound protector, pneumoperitoneum was created and two additional ports were placed. Then, a non-adhesive layer was precisely placed within the abdominal cavity.

resultsFinally, polyurethane foam and adhesive drape were applied. A volume of 200 ml of saline solution was instilled and drained completely within 30 min. We did not observe any technical problems with NPWT application.

conclusionsThis study confirmed the technical feasibility of NPWT application in the laparoscopic approach. LapVac seems to be a promising technique which may minimize the trauma and lead to better outcomes.
