Pediatric Microsurgery and Free-Tissue Transfer.
Review in Seminars in plastic surgery, 2023. 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
Advancements in microsurgery, along with increased microsurgical experience in pediatric patients, have made free-tissue transfer a reliable modality for pediatric bone and soft tissue reconstruction today. Free-tissue transfer is most commonly used in children for the coverage of large or complex defects resulting from traumatic, oncologic, or congenital etiologies. While flap success and complication rates between pediatric and adult populations are similar, special considerations must be taken into account within the pediatric population. In this article, we will describe common indications, technical nuances, and clinical considerations for the management of the pediatric free-tissue transfer patient.
