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
The perforating branches of the deep femoral artery and vein are considered useful recipient vessels during free-flap reconstruction for extensive defects extending from the knee to the mid-thigh or from the lateral to the posterior region of the thigh. Despite being located deep between the adductor longus and magnus muscles, they can be easily identified, allowing for a sufficient surgical field for the vascular anastomosis. Approximately four perforators from the deep femoral artery can be found on the posterior aspect of the thigh, easily identified by dissecting the semitendinosus and biceps femoris muscles. The calibre and length of the perforators were suitable for vascular anastomosis. In this study, we present three cases of free-flap reconstruction for extensive thigh defects using perforating branches of the deep femoral artery and vein as recipient vessels.
