Modification of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy and Mesh-Mediated Fascial Traction for Open Abdomen Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
The introduction of the open abdomen technique for laparostomies has presented new problems, including the method of temporary coverage and the primary and delayed closure of the laparostomy. Numerous techniques for the delayed closure of a laparostomy have been described in the literature, but closure of a laparostomy with a colostomy present is a more technically challenging situation. The combination of negative pressure wound therapy and mesh-mediated fascial traction is now considered the method of choice. This paper presents a modification of the negative pressure wound therapy and mesh-mediated fascial traction techniques, by which laparostomy closure can be easily and quickly achieved by applying mesh as a whole and applying traction on the excess part. The traction on different parts of the mesh can be easily adjusted to avoid colostomy compression.
