Interdisciplinary Care for Amputees Network: A Novel Approach to the Management of Amputee Patient Populations.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Extremity amputation remains a common intervention for limb-threatening conditions. With advancement in surgical technique to address deleterious postoperative sequelae of limb removal, there is a salient need to develop and operationalize interdisciplinary care frameworks to provide more comprehensive care to an otherwise challenging patient population. Herein, we describe our interdisciplinary approach to the management of amputee patient populations at our institution, referred to as the Interdisciplinary Care for Amputees Network (ICAN). This novel framework focuses on 3 fundamental areas: combined preoperative patient evaluation, orthoplastic surgical intervention, and multi-specialty postoperative functional and psychosocial rehabilitation. Importantly, the successful implementation of a combined orthoplastic clinic requires establishing a working relationship among providers to leverage increased provider familiarity. This, coupled with sufficient clinic space, dedicated operating room time, and standardized patient workflow, serves to improve care and meet patient goals of pain minimization, return to desired functional status, and improvement in quality of life.
