Supermicrosurgical lymphovenous anastomosis.
Review in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
Lymphedema impairs patients' function and quality of life. Currently, supermicrosurgical lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) is regarded as a significant and effective treatment for lymphedema. This article aims to review recent literature on this procedure, serving as a reference for future research and surgical advancements. Evolving since the last century, LVA has emerged as a pivotal domain within modern microsurgery. It plays a crucial role in treating lymphatic disorders. Recent literature discusses clinical imaging, surgical techniques, postoperative care, and efficacy. Combining advanced tools, precise imaging, and surgical skills, LVA provides a safer and more effective treatment option for lymphedema patients, significantly enhancing their quality of life. This procedure also presents new challenges and opportunities in the realm of microsurgery.
