The efficacy of the Bogota Bag technique for wound closure in limb fasciotomy patients: a prospective cohort study.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeFasciotomy is a surgical procedure that involves the incision of fascial compartments in the body to relieve pressure, prevent tissue damage, and maintain blood flow. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Bogota Bag technique in closing fasciotomy wounds in patients with lower limb compartment syndrome.
methodsA prospective cohort study was conducted between October 2022 and October 2023 to document our experience in employing the Bogota Bag technique for fasciotomy closure. The study included the evaluation of medical files from fifteen patients aged 17 to 61.
resultsThe outcomes of the study present the initial series of limb fasciotomies treated with the Bogota Bag technique. Fifteen patients (14 male, 1 female) were included in the study. The average age of the patients was 34.73 ± 13.9 years and the average hospitalization was 8.33 ± 3.2 days. The average closure time of fasciotomy is 3.6 ± 1.4 days.
conclusionThis report makes a significant contribution as the first documented series of limb fasciotomies treated with the Bogota Bag technique. This method exhibits simplicity in execution, cost-effectiveness, and a low incidence of complications.
