A Novel Use of Next-Generation Closed Incision Negative Pressure Wound Therapy After Major Limb Amputation and Amputation Revision.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06493539 (A Novel Application of Closed Incision Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for the Post-Surgical Management of Lower Extremity Amputations), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
We report our experience with next-generation incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT) applied after major limb amputation or amputation revision. In this high-risk patient population, the need for reliable post-operative soft tissue management is imperative. In both cases reported, healing was uncomplicated. Using the next generation iNPWT in this unique way optimizes the post-operative residual limb by improved incision healing, residual limb edema reduction, and reduced risk of surgical site infection (SSI). This is the first case report of its kind reporting a novel use of next-generation iNPWT, and it demonstrates a need to examine this particular use further.
