Effectiveness of Negative Pressure Wound Therapies on the Healing Diabetic Foot Ulcer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a technology-based modality therapy in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers used by nursing. However, there are variations in its effectiveness among patients, which requires further research to better understand. This systematic study investigated the effect of NPWT on the healing of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Material and Methods: The databases consulted were CINAHL, ProQuest, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Wiley, with a date range restriction from September 2003 to July 2022. The inclusion criteria were full-text articles with a randomized controlled trial design and English publication. They were using comprehensive meta-analysis (CMA) version 3.3.070 software to conduct a meta-analysis. Results: There were 1.375 participants in 14 trials, and residual heterogeneity analysis indicated wound healing I-squared (I Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that NPWT administered by nurses improves wound healing in DFU patients. Regarding infection control, this study did not produce statistically significant results.
