Personalized approach for complex bilateral calcaneal osteomyelitis and defect reconstruction with bilateral abductor digiti minimi flaps.

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
Objectives: The best treatment for displaced, intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus remains controversial and it is generally agreed, that there is no single method that is suitable for all patients. Case presentation: Here we report a rare case of bilateral calcaneal osteomyelitis with fistula formation following open reduction and plate fixation via an extensile lateral approach that could be salvaged with an interdisciplinary approach including orthopedic and plastic surgeons. We are not aware of a similar case in the literature. Abductor digit minimi flaps is a well-established procedure in plastic and reconstructive surgery with a minimal functional defect and morbidity at the donor site. This treatment protocol resulted in minimal donor-site morbidity and good bone remodeling in the further course. We believe that it may be of use for complicated courses even with limited resources. Conclusions: Abductor digit minimi flaps is a well-established procedure in plastic and reconstructive surgery with a minimal functional defect and morbidity at the donor site.
