Surgical Reconstruction of Complex Distal Foot Defects With Vascularized Fascia Lata.
Article in Annals of plastic surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundReconstruction of distal foot defect remains a challenge in plastic surgery. The purpose of this report is to present a new procedure that repairs these defects in severe burn patients. Results of application and follow-up in 7 patients were presented.
methodsFrom January 2016 to March 2018, a total of 7 patients (age ranging from 21 to 57 years) with distal foot defects were treated in our department. All the wounds were caused by severe burns and repaired by the free vascularized fascia lata combined with thin split-skin graft. After the operation, the status of the fascia flaps and grafted skin was observed, and follow-up information and complications were documented.
resultsAmong the 7 patients, the flaps and grafted skins completely survived in 5 patients. One patient was found to have grafted skin necrosis in the perioperative period, and 1 patient was found to have partial flap necrosis in the follow-up period. After conventional dressing treatment and skin grafting, the wounds healed in both patients. The mean follow-up was 6 months.
conclusionsThe method of combining the free vascularized fascia lata with thin split-skin graft represents a satisfactory approach for the repairing of distal foot defects.
