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
objectiveTo summarize the effectiveness of modified arterialized venous flaps in repairing soft tissue defect of fingers.
methodsBetween January 2017 and April 2018, 16 patients with soft defects of fingers were treated. There were 12 males and 4 females, with an average age of 41 years (range, 24-74 years). One case was resulted from resection of cicatricial contracture and 15 cases was caused by mechanical strangulation. The defects located at thumb in 3 cases, index finger in 5 cases, middle finger in 4 cases, ring finger in 2 cases, and little finger in 2 cases; and at the palmar aspect in 4 cases, and dorsal aspect in 12 cases. The size of defect ranged from 3 cm×2 cm to 10 cm×3 cm. All flaps were harvested from the palmar aspect of the ipsilateral forearm. The distal ports of the two veins were ligation. Partial fat was eliminated and the all connecting minute branches between the two veins were ligation under microscope in order to achieve the thorough shunt restriction. Then the flaps were positioned over the recipient site without inversion. The size of flap ranged from 3.5 cm×2.5 cm to 10.5 cm×3.5 cm. All donor sites were directly sutured except that 1 case was recovered with free skin graft.
resultsAll flaps survived entirely except that 1 case happened vein crisis. Three flaps demonstrated mild-to-moderate venous congestion without any treatment and the swelling of flaps gradually subsided after 1 week. Skin grafting at donor site survived and all incisions healed by first intension. Thirteen patients were followed up 8-16 months (mean, 11 months). The textures and appearances of the flaps were satisfactory. At last follow-up, the mean size of the Semmes-Weinstein (SW) monofilament test of the flaps was 4.01 g (range, 2.83-4.56 g); the mean static two-point discrimination of the flaps was 12 mm (range, 6-20 mm).
conclusionModified arterialized venous flaps with thoroughly restriction of arteriovenous shunting can offer decreased congestion of venous flaps and improve survival rate. Better effectiveness can be achieved by using this flap to repair soft tissue defect of finger.
