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

objectiveReliable wound coverage of the fingertip and palmar aspect of the middle finger with a sensate flap in order to restore early function. INDICATIONS: Palmar, oblique pulp defects or amputations at the distal finger phalange with uncovered bone, tendons, and/or neurovascular structures. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Peripheral perfusion deficiency, size of defect exceeding flap capacity, obliteration of the flap artery, i.e. contralateral finger artery. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Harvesting of adipocutane, midlateral triangle based on proper digital vessel flap; distal flap transposition and primary closure of the harvesting defect, flap dimension 4-5 mm larger than defect. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Finger splint for 2 weeks, followed by exercises with flap conditioning.

resultsVery reliable defect coverage with 9% minor and temporary complications, all of which healed without consequences.
