Enhanced Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Shortens Hospital Stay for Major Burn Patients: Case Series.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The length of hospital stay (LOS) serves as a key metric for forecasting resource allocation and assessing quality of care in burn treatment. Negative pressure wound therapy with instillation and dwell time (NPWTi-d) has emerged as a groundbreaking option in the management of burns, linked to quicker wound healing and more effective infection resolution. However, its impact on LOS remains uncertain. This article introduces a series of burn injuries managed with NPWTi-d, using the Solventum V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice Dressing. Severely burned patients with deep burns were selected for treatment with NPWTi-d using Solventum V.A.C. Veraflo Cleanse Choice Dressing and were treated after skin grafts with Solventum V.A.C. Granufoam Dressing. We calculated the predictive LOS, with the formulas developed by Taylor et al and compared them with the actual LOS. NPWTi-d was administered to three patients. The age of the patients ranged from 16 to 42 years, with an average of 28.6 years (SD, 10.84) and an average total burn area of 48.16% (SD, 1.4%). We observed an average reduction in hospital stay of 23.2% (SD, 19.83%) All burn injuries either healed completely or demonstrated adequate skin graft survival and recovery in follow-ups. All the patients exhibited a decrease in the LOS, despite experiencing systemic complications arising from distributive shock.
