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

Crush injuries of the lower extremity with extensive osseous and soft tissue damage impose a big challenge even for an interdisciplinary reconstructive approach. Multistep reconstruction with negative wound pressure therapy for soft tissue management and external fixation for osseous stability preceding free flap transfer leads to optimized outcome. We report the successful multistep reconstruction of a third-degree open right tibial fracture with extensive soft tissue defect with an arteriovenous loop preceding latissimus dorsi flap coverage with a perforator skin island after loss of an anterior lateral thigh (ALT) flap due to intima damage of the recipient vessels. The described method is a safe reconstructive concept after primary flap loss with persistent extensive tissue damage.
