1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study was performed to explore the treatment of the injury caused by traumatic limb amputation.

methodsFrom October 2002 to October 2021, 30 cases were enrolled in the present study. The reasons for injury were as follows: 8 cases with single hydraulic column crush injury, 12 cases with gear and wire rope stranding, 6 cases with belt avulsion injury, and 4 cases with carbon block smash injury. The present study application of a free or small saphenous vein bypass to reconstruct the injured artery and vein according to the concept of the angiosome model. The defective vessels were bridged with the axial vessels of a flow-through flap, such as a medial calf flap or anterolateral femoral flap, to construct an additional blood supply and drainage vein for the severed limb. The clinical data of 30 cases with traumatic limb amputation of the lower leg and ankle were retrospectively analyzed.

resultsIn all 30 cases of traumatic limb amputation, the replantation via the adoption of a flow-through flap was successful, and 85.6% of the patients remained in good postoperative condition. There were no symptoms of ischemia in the marginal segment after blood supply reconstruction of the transected limb by axial vascular bridging within the flap.

conclusionVia the adoption of microsurgical techniques, the blood supply to the transected limb can be reconstructed by bridging the defective vessels with the adoption of the axial vessels of the flow-through flap is a feasible and advanced treatment option.
