Long-term outcomes of homodigital neurovascular island flap reconstruction of fingertip injuries in children.

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
We evaluated the long-term functional and cosmetic results of homodigital neurovascular island flap (NIF) used to reconstruct extensive pulp defects with bone exposure in children. Twenty-three children (mean age 4.8 years, range 1-10 years) with fingertip injuries were reconstructed with a pedicled homodigital NIF and evaluated in terms of sensation quality, cold intolerance, scar formation, nail deformity, range of motion and overall finger length at a mean follow up of 7.8 years (range 2-13). Eleven patients reported cold sensitivity in the operated fingertip, and 15 presented with hook nail deformities at the final follow-up. The total active motion of the injured finger was significantly lower than that of the uninjured side (
