Linear and Area Coverage With Closed Incision Negative Pressure Therapy Management: International Multidisciplinary Consensus Recommendations.
Article in International wound journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Closed incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) with foam dressings has received broad recognition for its ability to support incision healing for a variety of surgical procedures. Over time, these dressings have evolved to include linear and 'area' shapes to better conform to different incision types and surface geometries. To address new studies on these configurations and provide guidance for dressing selection, an international, multidisciplinary panel of experts was convened. The panel reviewed recent publications on ciNPT with reticulated open cell foam (ROCF) dressings, shared their cases and experiences and engaged in roundtable discussions on benefits, drawbacks and technical challenges. Topics were ranked by importance and refined into potential consensus statements. These were shared for anonymous feedback, requiring 80% agreement for consensus. This manuscript establishes 12 consensus statements regarding risk factors supporting the use of ciNPT, conditions supporting preference of linear or area ciNPT dressings and tips for practical application of ciNPT with ROCF dressings. While this consensus panel expands on previous publications to aid clinicians' decision-making, further research is needed to refine recommendations and identify the strengths and limitations of ciNPT. Continued multidisciplinary collaboration will ensure ciNPT remains vital for improving surgical outcomes and patient care.
