Fingertip Injuries Outcome Score.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
Fingertip injury reconstruction aims to restore function and appearance. We report our new fingertip injuries outcome score (FIOS) based on finger length, bone consolidation, nail aesthetics, sensation, range of motion, grip strength, and return to work to evaluate the functional outcome of fingertip injuries. Methods: We analyzed the reliability and validity of the FIOS in 199 fingertip injuries of varying size, shape, and contours involving soft tissues and the bone. Semi-occlusive dressings and various reconstructive procedures were done based on the geometry. The FIOS had 10 items and specific scores. Results: The mean follow-up of our study was 26.8 months (range, 18-66 months). We classified the results based on the FIOS. A value of 12 or more is considered excellent; 13-18 is good; 19-24 is fair; and greater than 24 is poor. Excellent or good results were achieved in 186 cases. Nine cases had fair results, and four had poor results. We found the FIOS significantly reliable, consistent (Cronbach's alpha 0.796), reproducible, and valid (ANOVA Conclusions: FIOS is a simple, reliable, and meaningful method to assess the outcome of fingertip injuries. It is clinically relevant and remains a comparison tool for evaluating the efficiencies of treatment.
