Soft tissue coverage of the upper limb: A flap reconstruction overview.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Different opinions about the reconstructive choice for upper limb are described in literature: advancement or rotation flaps, regional flaps and free flaps are the most common reconstructive options. Local and regional flaps can be used to cover small defects while large wounds require the use of free flaps or distant pedicled flaps. The coverage of large wounds opens a discussion about when to use free flaps and when distant pedicled flaps. This review will describe the different methods used for the coverage of soft tissues injuries affecting hand and/or forearm (excluding fingers). The aim is to show all flap reconstructive options in order to support the inexperienced surgeon during the management of traumatic injuries of the upper limb.
