Amniotic Band Syndrome in Adult Combined with Persistent Depressive Disorder.

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
Congenital amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is an anomaly with no proven etiology occurring in 0.7 per 10,000 live births. This defect mostly concerns the extremities and is often accompanied by other developmental anomalies. There are many methods of treatment for this type of defect, such as simple excision and suturing, local V-Y plasty, Z-plasty, multiple Z "plasties" or multiple W plasties, plasty with deepithelized or non-deepithelized rectangular lobes, and rigottomies complemented with lipofilling. The literature most often describes cases of treated children. There are no case reports of ABS treatment in adults. However, failure to undertake such treatment in childhood may result in serious mental dysfunction. We present the case of a 39-year-old woman with congenital ABS, in whom failure to provide proper treatment in childhood resulted in persistent depressive disorder development. The applied treatment, consisting of multiple Z plasties, liposuction, and fat grafting, resulted in improved appearance of her lower extremity, as well as the cessation of mental symptoms.
