Article in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Sternal osteomyelitis is a potentially fatal condition following cardiac surgery. Sternal osteomyelitis should be diagnosed as early as possible followed by an interdisciplinary radical debridement. Subsequently plastic reconstructive surgery is necessary for defect reconstruction. This can be achieved by a number of established pedicled and free flap plastic surgery procedures. The choice of flap procedures is based on defect geometry and the individual patient situation, including potential flap donor sites. Smaller defects can generally be reconstructed by pedicled flap transfer. For extensive sternal defects, free flap transplantation is now a well-established therapeutic option. In some patients lacking sufficient recipient vessels, the creation of an arteriovenous (AV) loop as recipient vessel is necessary. In summary, successful therapy of sternal osteomyelitis is based on early interdisciplinary treatment by the various surgical subspecialties.
