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

The management of the open abdomen follows wound management with temporary abdominal closure prior to definitive closure while concurrently managing patient nutrient and fluid losses. This case report describes the successful use of double-breasted anterior rectus sheath turnover (DART) flap for early open abdomen closure to facilitate oncological management. The patient is a 47-year-old female with uterine smooth muscle neoplasm whose laparotomy wound was complicated with abdominal wound dehiscence and intra-abdominal infection. The abdomen could be closed with no fistula formation, iatrogenic bowel perforations, or overlying skin necrosis, and a follow-up showed no hernia occurrence. In conclusion, the DART flap provides a simple and autologous option for early tension-free midline closure of the open abdomen with acceptable intra- and postoperative complications.
