Precut Cast: An Easier and Less Stressful Cast Removal Procedure for Pediatric Patients.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
During hospitalization, pediatric patients or their parents may feel stressed. If patients need to stay in the hospital with a cast, they are prone to feeling more stressed. Fixation using a cast is an important clinical option, particularly in the case of skin grafts wherein fixation of the foot and ankle is essential to ensure the survival of the graft skin. However, the removal of the cast is also stressful for patients because it needs to be removed with a cast saw. To avoid further stress in pediatric patients, we cut the cast intraoperatively and then fixed the cast again using nylon cable ties. One week after surgery, we separated the patient's cast. Instead of using a cast saw, we used only scissors or nippers. Our cast removal method was easy, safe, and less stressful.
