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
It is difficult to achieve satisfactory results in the treatment of advanced degloving injury, which is one of the most challenging injuries in hand surgery. In this report, we present a case of marked destructive arthropathy of the interphalangeal joint that developed following revascularization after degloving hand injury. A 37-year-old, right-handed female manual worker sustained a degloving injury of her fingers, including the dorsal hand. We performed revascularization and secondary surgery, which included tenolysis and a tendon graft, to obtain functional improvement. These 2 procedures provided significant improvement in the active range of motion of the respective fingers. However, the patient complained of postoperative pain in the proximal interphalangeal joint. X-ray revealed destructive changes in the interphalangeal joint, which advanced progressively. Destructive changes in the interphalangeal joint following advanced degloving injury should be recognized as a potential complication that could be a limitation of functional restoration. Follow-up X-ray examination is necessary, even in cases with no fracture of the phalanges at the time of injury. In the management of degloving injury, patients should be informed of the potential risk of destructive arthropathy, which could result in restricted motion with pain.
