1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionA case of salvage of an exposed axillo-profunda bypass graft is presented. REPORT: Robust coverage of the graft was achieved with a pedicled latissimus dorsi muscle flap and overlying bi-pedicled cutaneous flap. DISCUSSION: Reconstructive options to salvage an exposed prosthetic graft will depend on the position on the trunk but can be successful if a reconstructive plastic surgery algorithm is followed. The options are discussed within this report. Exposed axillo-profunda graft can be salvaged successfully through a variety of reconstructive techniques. Close cooperation between vascular and plastic surgeons is vital for a successful outcome.
