Eviscerated liver: an extremely rare complication of abdominal wound dehiscense through a midline incision.

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
Abdominal wound dehiscense, or burst abdomen, is a critical postoperative complication necessitating immediate intervention. We present an extremely rare case of left hepatic lobe evisceration through wound dehiscense in a 65-year-old female receiving palliative care for hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The patient's midline incision that was performed for feeding jejunostomy tube displayed liver protrusion on Day 14 postoperatively. Surgical exploration revealed a healthy liver, prompting reduction and secondary sutures to prevent complications. Abdominal wound dehiscense risk factors, including advanced age, poor nutrition, and medical illness, contribute to its occurrence. Although guidelines for liver evisceration management are lacking, our case emphasizes proper technique, wound care, and nutritional support to aid the healing process and to ensure a better outcome for the patients.
