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

backgroundSoft tissue defects of the foot are very common sequelae after trauma and require an individual reconstructive approach.

objectiveRecommendations for the treatment of soft tissue injuries to the foot are given. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe criteria of soft tissue reconstruction, postoperative follow-up and complications are first discussed before the therapeutic approach is explained depending on the reconstruction site. Case examples are given for illustration.

resultsDecision making for soft tissue reconstruction of the foot is based on the location, the 3‑dimensional extent of the defect, the patient requirements and concomitant diseases. Standardized treatment algorithms are usually applied that need to be adapted according to individual patient factors. Randomized and local pedicled flaps can be applied for foot reconstruction; however, these options involve a significant risk of complications. Consequently, free flaps are frequently indicated after appropriate preoperative diagnostics of the perfusion of the foot. Due to the vast variety of donor sites, free flaps allow an individualized reconstruction, which is adapted to local and patient requirements.

conclusionPrecise preoperative reconstructive planning and analysis of the vascularization form the foundation for a successful soft tissue reconstruction of the foot. The aims of the individualized approach to soft tissue reconstruction of the foot are stable soft tissue coverage, resistance to weight bearing of the sole of the foot, the ability to wear normal shoes and maintenance of sensibility.
