Initial Assessment, Debridement, and Decision Making in the Salvage of Severely Injured Lower Extremity.
Review in Indian journal of plastic surgery : official publication of the Association of Plastic Surgeons of India, 2019. 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
An open fracture with extensive skin and soft tissue loss is considered as a severely injured lower extremity. Advances in rapid transport, resuscitation, skeletal fixation, and microsurgical techniques to cover large soft tissue and bone defects have made possible the salvage of these severely injured limbs. Salvage exercise is skill and resource intensive and could take a long time frame. The goal of management is to obtain painless independent weight bearing walking in a time frame and cost that the patient can afford. Decisions taken and the quality of care provided on day 1 determine the ultimate success. Inappropriate decisions and treatment lead to increased morbidity and secondary amputation. Infection is the commonest complication. Limb salvage scores are helpful to predict salvage and guide the sequence of treatment. Once the decision is taken for salvage, debridement, early skeletal fixation, and soft tissue cover are the key to success.
