1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe reconstruction of nonhealing lumbosacral spinal defects remains a challenge, with limited options. The aim of this article was to review the authors' technique and experience with the modified fourth lumbar artery local perforator (MFLALP) flap for the coverage of nonhealing lumbosacral defects after spinal surgery.

methodsBetween August 2012 and May 2021, we reviewed all MFLALP flaps performed for lumbosacral spinal defects. Patient demographics, wound aetiologies, surgical characteristics, and outcomes were reviewed retrospectively.

resultsA total of 31 MFLALP flaps were performed on 24 patients during the research period. The median flap size was 152 cm

conclusionsThe MFLALP flap has the advantages of a reliable blood supply, sufficient tissue bulk and low complication rate. This technique is an alternative option for the reconstruction of nonhealing lumbosacral spinal defects.
