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

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) with instillation therapy (V.A.C. Vera-Flow™) and dwell time (NPWTi-d) is an innovative method for complex wound healing. NPWTi-d combines vacuum-aided drainage of wounds with the precise distribution of topical cleansing solution over the wounds. Furthermore, super oxidized solutions have illustrated their ability to potentiate wound healing and decrease bacterial contamination. Furthermore, aided with this method, infected wounds can be disinfected. If surgical debridement or removal of the infected site is not possible or desired. Therefore, in the case of a 66-year-old patient with diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) with severe infection, our approach was to couple NPWTi-d with instillation and dwelling of super oxidized solution to bolster benefits. This is the first case report using NPWTi-d with instillation of super oxidized solution in DFS in Switzerland. This case indicates that this approach is beneficial in the treatment of complex and critically infected wounds in DFS.
