Double-layer biodegradable temporising matrix reconstruction for abdominal skin and soft-tissue reconstruction.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare, locally invasive dermal sarcoma. The management is generally surgical, with wide local excision (WLE) forming the mainstay of treatment. Large abdominal wall defects are most aesthetically reconstructed using pedicled or free flaps; however, these require tumour-free surgical margins, and are off-set by donor site morbidity. We describe an alternative, aesthetic and low-morbidity technique for reconstruction of a subfascial defect following WLE of DFSP in a young woman in her early 20s, using two layers of a novel synthetic dermal matrix (NovoSorbBTM). To our knowledge, a double-layer reconstruction using an artificial dermal matrix has never been described for trunk reconstruction. We found that double-layer biodegradable temporising matrix can restore the inherent thickness and pliability of skin in a partial-thickness abdominal wall defect and offers improved durability and cosmesis compared with skin grafting or indeed single layer skin substitutes alone.
