Great Toe Tip Reconstruction after Severe COVID-19 Using Hemi-pulp V-Y Advancement Flap: A Case Report.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
"COVID toe," one of the extrapulmonary disorders of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), may result in toe necrosis. In this case, we successfully reconstructed a severe COVID-19-induced defect in the great toe by using an innervated hemi-pulp V-Y advancement flap. A 48-year-old woman was diagnosed with fulminant myocarditis due to COVID-19 and received intensive care. Even after the acute phase, a skin defect measuring 10 mm × 7 mm was noted, exposing the underlying bone on her right great toe tip. Because of ulceration, she was unable to start walking training. To continue rehabilitation, we reconstructed it with the innerved hemi-pulp V-Y advancement flap. The pain improved quickly, and rehabilitation was resumed. During the 6-month follow-up period, no cosmetic or functional complications were observed. Plantar pressure measurements demonstrated favorable loading on the great toe, and it was a favorable outcome in walking function. This flap is a valuable option as one of the innervated flaps for toe-end necrosis with preserved blood flow, which helps in implementing prompt gait rehabilitation.
