Microsurgery Training in Plastic Surgery.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Advances in surgical instruments, magnification technology, perforator dissection techniques, and vascular imaging over the past decades have facilitated exponential growth in the field of microsurgery. With wide application potential including but not limited to limb salvage, breast reconstruction, lymphedema treatment, and sex affirmation surgery, microsurgery represents a critical skill set that powerfully augments the reconstructive armamentarium of plastic surgeons. Accordingly, microsurgical training is now a critical component of the plastic surgery residency education curriculum. Trainees must meet minimum microsurgery case requirements in addition to the core competencies outlined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Through the use of simulation models, residency programs increasingly incorporate early skills development and assessment in microsurgery in the laboratory. Beyond residency, microsurgery fellowships offer additional exposure and refinement by offering volume, complexity, autonomy, and possible focused specialization. With continued refinement in technology and advances in knowledge, new types of simulation training models will continue to be developed and incorporated into microsurgery training curricula.
