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

We present a case of symmetrical peripheral gangrene of the extremities due to acute infectious purpura fulminans that was reconstructed with four free flaps harvested from the bilateral backs. We reconstructed the right and left, upper and lower limbs using the parascapular flap and latissimus dorsi muscle flap from one side and the scapular flap and thoracodorsal artery perforator flap from the other side, in multiple stages. All four flaps survived, preserving the right and left heels and function of the bilateral wrist joints. Although there have been several reports of single-stage elevation of the combined scapular and latissimus dorsi flaps, there has been no report of multi-stage elevations of these flaps. When multiple flaps are required in multi-stage, raising the flaps based on the thoracodorsal artery and scapular circumflex artery from the ipsilateral back is a useful method because it does not require additional donor sites.
