The 4 Principles of Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction.
Review in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Abdominal wall defects are some of the most common and challenging problems encountered by plastic surgeons. A high proportion of patients with abdominal wall defects have significant comorbidities and/or contamination, putting them at high risk for complications. In addition to advanced surgical skills and precise anatomical knowledge, the plastic surgeon needs strict discipline and medical acumen, to optimize patients before and after surgery. In this paper, we discuss the goals of abdominal wall reconstruction, and the 4 steps to successful surgery: preoperative patient selection/optimization, durable and dynamic reconstruction of the musculofascial layer, careful attention to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and meticulous postoperative management.
