Success Rates of Finger Revascularization and Replantation.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2024. 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
Background: Revascularization surgery has been reported to have a higher success rate than replantation due to sufficient venous return. However, in complex cases, success depends on a wide range of indications. This study aimed to investigate success rates in cohorts that included severe cases. Methods: This single-center, noninterventional, retrospective cohort study included 292 patients (349 digits) who underwent revascularization or replantation at our institution between January 2000 and December 2022. Sex, age, smoking history, comorbidities, affected digit, amputation level, complete or incomplete amputation, type of fracture and mechanism, artery diameter, needle, vein anastomosis in the revascularization subgroup, vein grafting, warm ischemic time, and outcomes were investigated and compared between the revascularization and replantation subgroups of the distal and proximal amputation groups. Results: In the distal amputation group, the arterial diameter in the revascularization subgroup was larger than that in the replantation subgroup ( Conclusions: The revascularization success rate was similar to that of replantation. Vein anastomosis or vein grafting to the veins should be advocated for revascularization in severe cases where skin bridges may not have sufficient venous return.
