A systemic review and a meta-analysis on the influences of closed incisions in orthopaedic trauma surgery by negative pressure wound treatment compared with conventional dressings.
Synthesis in International wound journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 10 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the influences of closed incisions in orthopaedic trauma surgery (OTS) by negative pressure wound treatment (NPWT) compared with conventional dressings. A systematic literature search up to March 2022 was done and 14 studies included 3935 subjects with OTS at the start of the study; 2023 of them used NPWT and 1912 were conventional dressings. They were reporting relationships between the influences of closed incisions in OTS by NPWT compared with conventional dressings. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the influences of closed incisions in OTS by NPWT compared with conventional dressings using the dichotomous methods with a random or fixed-effect model. NPWT had significantly lower deep surgical site infections (SSIs) (OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.48-0.87, P = .004), superficial SSIs (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.19-0.61, P < .001), and wound dehiscence (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.21-0.80, P = .009) compared with conventional dressings in subjects with closed incisions in OTS. NPWT showed a beneficial effect on deep SSIs, superficial SSIs, and wound dehiscence compared with conventional dressings in subjects with closed incisions in OTS. Further studies are required to validate these findings.
