Application of gluteus maximus fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flap combined with resection in sacrococcygeal pressure ulcers: A CONSORT-compliant article.
Article in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundTraditional gluteus maximus myocutaneous flaps have generally been used to fill tissue defects after resection of sacrococcygeal pressure ulcers. However, postoperative complications were gradually revealed as increasing operations were performed. This study aimed to introduce the innovative application of gluteus maximus fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flaps for repairing tissue defects and to comparatively analyze the differences between the innovative and traditional flaps.
methodsA total of 32 cases were included in this study. All the PU lesions were removed by resection. Sixteen cases used the gluteus maximus myocutaneous flaps, and the remaining 16 cases used gluteus maximus fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flaps to fill the tissue defects after surgery. Comparative analysis between the gluteus maximus myocutaneous flaps and gluteus maximus fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flaps was used to evaluate the 2 flaps based on the mean operating time, postoperative infection, paresthesia, appearance of flaps, and recurrence.
resultsThe gluteus maximus fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flaps required a reduced operating time and a more simple operation compared with the gluteus maximus myocutaneous flaps. Although the infectious risk of the gluteus maximus fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flaps was reduced compared with the gluteus maximus myocutaneous flaps, the gluteus maximus myocutaneous flaps have a better appearance compared with the gluteus maximus fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flaps. Most importantly, no flap necrosis was noted, and the recurrence rate during follow-up was reduced in cases using the gluteus maximus fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flaps.
conclusionThe combined application of gluteus maximus fasciocutaneous V-Y advancement flaps with surgical resection can reduce the postoperative complications and aid in the treatment of sacrococcygeal pressure ulcers.
