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
Objective: To investigate the clinical application and effectiveness of the composite tissue flaps pedicled with perforating branch of posterior tibial artery for repairing distal leg defects. Methods: Between September 2014 and August 2017, 12 patients with skin and bone defects of distal leg were repaired with the composite tissue flaps pedicled with perforating branch of posterior tibial artery. There were 8 males and 4 females with an average age of 41.3 years (range, 25-66 years). The causes of injury included traffic accident injury in 7 cases, heavy crushing injury in 2 cases, tibial osteomyelitis with soft tissue ulcer and necrosis in 2 cases, and bone and soft tissue defect after resection of bone tumor in 1 case. Eight patients underwent primary repair, and 4 patients underwent second-stage repair. The size ranged from 6 cm×4 cm to 10 cm×7 cm in skin flap, from 4.0 cm×2.5 cm to 8.0 cm×6.0 cm in muscle flap, and from 4 cm×2 cm×2 cm to 5 cm×4 cm×4 cm in tibial bone flap. Tibial defects of the donor region were repaired by autologous iliac bone grafting, and the wounds were sutured directly in 7 cases and repaired by autologous skin grafting in 5 cases. Results: All composite tissue flaps survived and both the recipient and the donor wounds healed primarily. All patients were followed up 6-12 months, with an average of 10.8 months. The appearance, color, texture of the composite tissue flaps and ankle function were satisfactory. X-ray films showed that the bone flap at the tibia defect and the ilium graft at the donor site both healed well at 6 months after operation. Conclusion: The composite tissue flaps pedicled with perforating branch of posterior tibial artery has abundant blood, and it is a good donor region for repairing the distal leg defects combined with circumscribed bone defect.
