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

Background Several devices are marketed to help with abdominal closure. We aim to describe a novel approach to the management of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) using relatively inexpensive and available materials. Methods Fifty-two trauma patients were identified with abdomens left open for staged laparotomy. We utilized a method for treatment of ACS that involved suturing a folded transparent drape to the fascial edge using a continuous non-absorbable suture along with a moistened gauze roll that is placed along the edges of the fascia next to a suction drain, creating a vacuum wound dressing covered by Ioban
