Characteristics and Limitations of Video-capillaroscopy in Reconstructive Microsurgery for Different Histologic Components of 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
Indocyanine green, ultrasonography, and handheld Doppler can be used to evaluate blood flow at the donor and recipient site during microvascular reconstruction. However, these methods do not provide direct visualization and assessment of real-time blood flow. Video-capillaroscopy has been shown to be useful in clinical practice to assess microcirculation in rheumatologic disorders. In this report we used video-capillaroscopy to assess different tissue components involved in microvascular surgery. Seven patients who underwent head and neck oncologic microvascular reconstruction between November 2021 and February 2022 were included in this study. Video-capillaroscopy (GOKO-BscanZD, GOKO Imaging Devices Co., Ltd., Japan) was used to evaluate the donor-site and recipient-site tissue components. Optimal red blood cell movement was graded with a score of four, while no flow was graded with a score of 0. Seven myocutaneous flaps and seven recipient sites were evaluated. For the donor-site, our analysis demonstrated a significantly higher video-capillaroscopy quality for skin (3.43), adipose tissue (3.7) and perforators (3.7) when compared with muscle (0.429), muscle fascia (0.857), and de-epithelialized skin (1) (
