[Defect coverage of fingers and thumb : Indications and treatment].
Review in Der Unfallchirurg, 2018. 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
Due to the exposure of the hands in the daily routine, defect wounds of the hand are common. The injury severity varies and ranges from small fingertip defects to large soft tissue lesions with exposed tendons, nerves and vessels. The complete extent of the soft tissue defect is often only recognizable after meticulous debridement. A considerable variety of techniques for defect coverage are available to the surgeon but the actual challenge is to select the most appropriate procedure which will result in the smallest possible residual defect. This review article presents the diagnostic approaches to soft tissue defects of the hand and current treatment options.
