Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2025. 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of Pelnac assisted by vacuum sealing drainage in managing severe avulsion injuries of the fingers.
methodsThis prospective study was conducted from May 2017 to September 2023, involving 12 consecutive patients with severe avulsion injuries of the fingers. Patients underwent single-stage or two-stage procedures employing Pelnac assisted by vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) for the management of severe avulsion injuries of the fingers. Post-operative follow-up was routinely scheduled, and aesthetic and functional outcomes, sensory recovery, complications were recorded.
resultsTwelve patients were included in the analysis, consisting of 9 males and 3 females, with a mean age of 30.6 ± 11.0 years. All patients presented with severe damage to tendons and deep tissues, as well as varying degrees of bone exposure and injury, with average defect area of 36.9 cm² (range, 11 to 180 cm²). At the final follow-up (mean, 14 months; range, 12 to 29 months), the average score on the Fingertip Injuries Outcome Score (FIOS) was 14.3 (SD 3.9, range 10 to 22), with 6 patients achieving excellent result, 4 classified as good and 2 as fair. Patients reported an average satisfaction score of 74.0 (SD 11.6; range 51 to 94) regarding the aesthetic appearance. The average score on the Vancouver Scar Scale score was 2.3 (SD 2.1, range 1.0 to 7.4). Ten patients reported normal or near-normal sensation, while 2 patients experienced slight sensory loss. The average score on the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire was 13.2 (SD 8.5, range 0 to 47). No infections or hematomas were reported during hospitalization or after discharge.
conclusionPelnac, assisted by VSD, proved to be an effective approach for managing severe avulsion injuries of the fingers. This approach can be considered as a viable alternative for addressing severe injuries or complex wound conditions.
