Approach to Lymphedema Management.
Review in Seminars in plastic surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Millions of people worldwide suffer from lymphedema. In developed nations, lymphedema most commonly stems secondarily from oncologic treatment, but may also result from trauma. More recently, lymphedema has been identified in patients after gender-affirmation phalloplasty reconstruction. Regardless of the etiology, the underlying pathophysiology involves blockage of lymphatic flow, resulting in lymph stasis, thus triggering a cascade of inflammation culminating in fibrosis and adipose deposition. Recent technical advances led to the refinement of physiologic and reductive surgeries-including lymphovenous anastomosis and free functional lymphatic transfer, which collectively encompass a variety of flap procedures including lymph node transfer, lymph channel transfer, and lymphatic system transfer. This article provides a summary of our approach in the assessment and management of the lymphedema patient, including detailed intraoperative photography and imaging, in addition to advanced technical considerations in physiologic reconstruction.
