Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in an Immunocompromised Child: A Case Report From a Resource-Limited Setting in Ghana.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
An 8-year-old immunocompromised girl with a large septic wound on the left thigh was admitted to the facility after the failure of home treatment by the family. The child was generally stable aside from the difficulty in walking on the left leg. An improvised vacuum-assisted closure device was used to promote wound healing, as the actual device was not available. The wound experienced massive and impressive improvement within the first week of admission. Healthy and beautiful granulation tissues filled up the depth of the wound, closing it up by the third day of wound dressing. This case illustrates the possibility of healing large wounds faster than expected using negative pressure wound therapy, where the patient's immune status does not affect the healing process. This can be employed to reduce patients' length of hospital stay as well as reduce the workload on staff.
