Strategic wound and nutritional management for short bowel syndrome and wound dehiscence following non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia: a case report.

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
Introduction and importance: Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is life-threatening and may require extensive bowel resection, resulting in short bowel syndrome (SBS), nutritional deficiencies, and impaired wound healing. Severe wound dehiscence further complicates postoperative management, and reports describing this sequence are limited. This report highlights coordinated, phase-oriented management in an immunocompromised patient. Presentation of case: An 81-year-old female receiving immunosuppressive therapy underwent emergency Hartmann's procedure for perforated sigmoid diverticulitis. Postoperative septic shock required vasopressor support. On postoperative day (POD) 9, NOMI was diagnosed, necessitating subtotal small bowel resection and total colectomy, leaving approximately 70 cm of jejunum with an end jejunostomy. Extensive wound dehiscence developed by POD 21. Management included debridement, povidone-iodine sugar paste, 4 weeks of negative-pressure wound therapy with instillation, and trafermin. Complete secondary-intention closure without skin grafting was achieved by POD 90. Enteral and oral nutrition were gradually introduced while parenteral support was continued, and the high-output stoma was controlled with antidiarrheal agents and proton-pump inhibitors. The patient was transferred for rehabilitation on POD 120. At 15 months, she remained well, tolerated a regular diet, and required parenteral nutrition only on weekends. Clinical discussion: Delayed NOMI should be considered after septic shock despite transient hemodynamic stabilization. Phase-oriented wound care, staged nutritional escalation, and stoma output control supported secondary-intention healing without reconstructive surgery in a patient with SBS-related malnutrition. Conclusion: Coordinated wound and nutritional management may enable sustained recovery after NOMI complicated by SBS, high-output stoma, and extensive wound dehiscence.
