Successful Management of Infected Widely Dehisced Wound Using Progressive Tension Sutures: Case Report.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2026. 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
Background: Surgical wound dehiscence is a life-threatening postoperative complication mainly related to a failure of wound healing that leads to psychosocial stress in patients and their caregivers. Here, we report a successful management of widely dehisced wound using progressive tension sutures in low-resources setting. Case Report: A 35-year-old grand multipara woman underwent caesarean section for fetal distress. On postoperative day five, she developed a surgical site infection and the wound dehisced. After two failed attempts of dehisced wound closure she was referred to our hospital. The midline widely dehisced wound was dirty but all her investigative studies were within normal range, except for hypoalbuminemia. She was successfully treated with wound dressing, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and progressive approximation of wound edges using tension sutures, without the application of a Mesh. Conclusion: After full wound bed granulation, a progressive approximation of wound edges using tension sutures at an interval of two to three weeks could increase the success of widely dehisced surgical wound closure without applying Mesh in resource-limited areas.
