Case series of two successful pelvic ring reconstructions using a pedicled anterolateral thigh flap.
Article in JPRAS 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
Open pelvic ring fractures can have devastating functional consequences including prolonged disability, chronic pain, infection, and even death. These injuries are uncommon but often involve soft tissue defects. Without early and appropriate coverage, patients are likely to sustain infection, which can be fatal. Here, we present the successful use of a pedicled ALT flap in two patients with soft tissue defects due to open pelvic ring injury. The pedicled ALT flap can be harvested as a composite flap comprising a portion of the skin, fascia, and muscle depending on the defect. Although the ALT flap has often been employed for abdominal wall and abdomino-perineal reconstruction, this is the first case series to report the use of the ALT flap in a subacute traumatic setting for pelvic ring reconstruction.
