Delayed Primary Skin Closure Followed by Single-use Negative-pressure Wound Therapy Is Optimal for Wound Management After Bowel-stoma Reversal.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimAlthough the purse-string suture (PSS) method is widely adopted to reduce surgical-site infection (SSI; the commonest complication following bowel-stoma closure), this technique is associated with delayed epithelialization. Recently, delayed primary closure (DPC) combined with negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been proposed as a promising alternative. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of DPC with NPWT compared to the PSS method in stoma-closure surgery. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective observational study involving 31 patients who underwent stoma closure between January 2021 and March 2023. Patients were categorized into two groups: PSS with or without NPWT (PSS±NPWT; n=15) and DPC with NPWT (DPC+NPWT; n=16). The primary outcome was wound-healing duration; the secondary outcomes were patient satisfaction and in-hospital costs.
resultsThe wound-healing duration was significantly shorter in the DPC+NPWT group compared to the PSS±NPWT group (median: 20
conclusionDPC with NPWT significantly shortened the wound-healing duration and showed potential benefits regarding patient satisfaction and healthcare costs compared to the PSS method. These findings suggest DPC with NPWT as a viable alternative for bowel-stoma closure and wound management.
