1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a combination of flaps for the reconstruction of presacral defects following abdominoperineal resections: a paramedian vertically oriented caudally based lotus petal flap for presacral defects combined with a horizontal V-Y advancement flap for closure of the superficial donor site defect.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted on patients with a residual defect following an abdominoperineal resection between 2010 and 2017 in the Noordwest Ziekenhuisgroep. The primary endpoint was complications related to the reconstruction.

resultsTwelve patients were included, all reconstructions healed well. Three patients had a grade I or II complication (Clavien Dindo classification).

conclusionsUse of a petal flap and V-Y advancement flap for reconstruction of presacral defects was found to be safe and simple, and should, therefore, be considered in the management of such problems.
