Reducing Risks for Local Skin Flap Failure.
Review in Facial plastic surgery clinics of North America, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.
Who cites it
8 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 14 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
Local tissue flaps are a fundamental technique in cutaneous reconstruction. Reducing the risk of flap failure is of critical importance. The intrinsic vascularity of a flap is the most important determinant of success. Good surgical techniques, including flap design, delicate tissue handling, and tension-less closure, help reduce the risk of flap compromise. Determining the etiology of compromise, including arterial, venous, hematologic, or infectious, is the first step in salvaging a failing flap. Common causes include pedicle kinking, hematoma, pressure/tension, systemic patient factors, and poor surgical technique. Swift action to restore perfusion or venous outflow through numerous strategies is required.
