Flap Reconstruction of the Abdominal Wall.
Review in Seminars in plastic surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 abundant and lax tissue of the abdominal wall, most ventral trunk defects are amenable to local soft tissue closure. However, when abdominal defects are accompanied by a lack of soft tissue, the surgeon faces a more complex subset of reconstructions. Three important principles guide the reconstruction of these wounds: timing of closure, careful assessment of the true extent of the wound, and the components of the defect. This article focuses on these three guiding principles and suggests the authors' preferred technique for these difficult defects.
