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

Objective: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is increasingly being used as a major method of skin graft dressing and fixation. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Instillation and Dwelling (NPWTi-d) further enhances wound care over regular NPWT. However, only a few reports have been made on its use for skin graft fixation due to concerns of graft maceration or detachment. We used NPWTi-d to fix skin grafts for 4 cases of severely contaminated complex posttraumatic wounds. Methods: The age ranged from 37 to 72 years, and included trauma of the lower leg, forearm dog bite and incomplete amputations of the upper arm and hand respectively. The mean instillation saline volume per wound size was 0.21 ml/cm Results: All the grafts healed well and no complications such as infection or contracture were observed. Follow-up time was 1 -8 months. Conclusions: NPWTi-d may be a useful option for fixing skin grafts particularly in contaminated wounds with a high risk of infection.
