Wrist and hand degloved injuries salvaged with reverse radial forearm flap in the CoVid-19 era.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Reverse radial forearm flap is a quick and reliable flap, providing a well-vascularized tissue for coverage of hand defects. It is based on the reverse flow of the radial artery and the only drawback is the proximal ligation of the vessel. Two cases with complex dorsal hand defects were referred with delay to our Hand Unit, due to the CoVid-19 pandemic restrictions. In both cases deep structures of the wrist and fingers were exposed and the wounds were infected. Surgical debridement, skin coverage and reconstruction were decided in a staged approach: The reverse radial forearm flap was first performed, and in subsequent stages, functional restoration with hamstrings tendon grafts and finger joints arthrodesis successfully followed. These two cases highlight the reliability of a traditional pedicled flap in the salvage of complex hand defects, especially when time and resources are limited due to a pandemic.
