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

Genital lymphedema is a challenging condition often refractory to conservative treatments. This case report presents a novel surgical approach combining a lymphatic system transfer based on a pedicled superficial circumflex iliac perforator flap with nanofibrillar collagen scaffolds to address genital lymphedema secondary to hidradenitis suppurativa. A 47-year-old man with hidradenitis suppurativa-related genital lymphedema, unresponsive to conservative measures, underwent the procedure. Indocyanine green lymphography and ultrahigh-frequency ultrasound were used for preoperative flap planning, including lymphatic vessels in the skin paddle. Nanofibrillar collagen scaffolds were placed to enhance lymphangiogenesis in distal genital areas. The patient experienced significant improvement, with a reduction in lymphedema severity from 5 of 9 to 1 of 9 on the Genital Lymphedema Score and substantial relief of symptoms. Single-photon emission computed tomography demonstrated uptake of
