Guidelines for management of crush injuries of the hand.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 8 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
Crush injuries of the hand involve damage to multiple structures within the hand, loss of tissue, devascularisation and possibly amputation of digits. They are complex and difficult to classify. Each injury has a unique pattern and requires a unique plan of management. There are no set procedures that can be described, however fundamental principles can be laid down to guide surgical management. Optimum management requires a planned and decisive approach. The surgeon or the team must be well versed with techniques necessary for management of all the structures within the hand, microsurgery and free tissue transfer. The essential components of management are, accurate assessment of the injury and creating a reconstructive plan by structures. The essential components for primary surgery are precise and complete debridement, skeletal stabiliation, vascular repair and if vessels are exposed, soft tissue cover. Secondary surgery should include procedures to enhance the function of the hand or to improve the aesthetics of the hand. These include bone grafting, fusion, tendon and nerve reconstruction, flap de-bulking and toe to hand transfers. The following article is a concise synthesis of the fundamental principles which a hand surgeon must understand while undertaking these challenging procedures.
